# Overview
|
|
|
|
Practical Blockers collects scenes where something is preventing smooth progress. The blocker might be missing research, an unresolved timeline choice, unclear motivation or a continuity question.
|
|
|
|
# When Should I Use This?
|
|
|
|
Use this queue when you have planning energy, or when drafting keeps stalling because too many decisions are still open.
|
|
|
|
# How To Use It
|
|
|
|
Open a blocked scene, read the blocker note, and resolve the smallest decision that would make the scene workable again.
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
|
|
A scene may be blocked because you have not decided how a character enters the locked room. Clearing that question may unlock several later scenes.
|
|
|
|
# Writer Tip
|
|
|
|
Blockers are not failures. They are signposts showing where the story needs a decision.
|
|
|
|
# Common Mistakes
|
|
|
|
- Trying to draft around a blocker that affects continuity.
|
|
- Leaving research tasks vague.
|
|
- Treating every warning as equally urgent.
