She explains how my road blocks are to do with me not being enough of a plotter/dramatic action writer.

And--as you happily discovered--a break seems to help, to let your subconscious untangle the tangles and come up with a way out of the plot dilemma.

Sometimes it took a week or two of mulling, before I was able to work my way out. Before beginning the second draft, I read a few "how to" books and outlined the entire novel. So far, (knock on wood) I have not ran into the "road block problem."
