I'm going to cry
I've never ever struggled with a book the way I've struggled with this one. I can't get it right. I just can't. Everything is wrong with it and I cannot figure out what to do to fix it. I'm at such a loss, and it's due in five weeks, so I look at the calender and start to freak out, which of course doesn't help with the "clear mind, clear thoughts" problemsolving mindset I need.Does anyone have any suggestions on how to work one's way out of this kind of situation???

Where are you at in it? The middle? Do you need another plot disastor? Or a romance disastor? Most books have three plot disastors before the black moment.
It's hard to know how to help when I don't know what's wrong. Maybe you should go back and look at your plot notes and see if there is enough GMC to sustain the story.
Hope something helped.

I'm working with "The Weekend Novelist Writes a Mystery," and it's helping me get unstuck. I know that their first, most famous book is just called "The Weekend Novelist." They have charts. I like charts. Other than that, I'd suggest having other people read it and see if they can give you ideas. Good luck, sweetie. I hate to see anyone suffer this. I've been there, but without the deadline looming. Try to forget the deadline. You're a good writer, with a good track record. Worst-case scenario, I bet they will understand if you need a little time.
