Having never role-played in my life (well, beyond one acting class, but that's a different kettle of fish from these online things), I'd have to say that's not the problem.
See, basically I've hit a snag in the storyline and I'm not quite sure where to go next, or how to get where I want to go next. Normally this is when I stop writing for a while and let my subconscious chew on the issue for a few days or weeks. Except I want to finish this story sooner than that might allow, so I've been beating my head against the brick wall of an uncooperative plot and characters.
Both methods do eventually get me over the sticking points, but the first one is a lot less stressful!
