I wrote an Ebook (50,000 words) about the "Kingman UFO". The book is historically accurate in terms of the people who were living in Kingman in 1953, the bars, the local place names, and events surrounding the UFO crash, and a double murder that happened on the same day. Thus "The UFO Murders", which is NOT available anywhere. I am terrible at marketing.
At one point I had the good guy and the bad guy sitting in a bar having a confrontation in a public place. I was about half done with the book and I just got stuck. I waited about 6 weeks for inspiration to strike and it never did. I worried about it, thought about it, tried to skipped the scene I couldn't finish, tried to change it ... nothing worked.
One day I just said "f**k it". Do something, even if it's wrong. So I stumbled thru it and by the time I was done with the book it worked out very well. I had a local rancher stop for a beer while towing a trailer that had a prize winning bull on board. The bull kicked the gate open on the trailer and walked into the bar. Chaos ensured.
It's not the end of the world, it's not the end of the story. Do something, even if it's wrong, worry about it later.
