Writing Problems

Writing the wrong word, crossing it out, then before writing the RIGHT word you write the wrong word AGAIN because you’d miss-spelled it the first time.

This is a very broad question. I can tell you to map out your story. Very often, I'm in the middle of a piece, and writer's block hits me like a train. It's nice to have some idea of where you're going with your story by maybe outlining what's going to happen chapter by chapter. Also, it may work to start a story from the very end or even in the meaty middle of the story. Don't be afraid to change things around from time to time. You can change some characters, delete them, add them, change their names, change the surroundings/environments of the characters, even maybe change the way the plot plays out.
