*laughs gently* I've been stalled on my series for almost a year, because two of my characters are literally sitting in opposite corners, pouting and snarking at each other (and it's not even useful snarking, while the third character is practically weeping with desperation. I can't get them to cooperate. Dammit.

Take your time, hon. It will resolve itself. Prolly at 3 a.m., when you'll sit up in the bed, hit your forehead, and say, "What was I thinking???" or "of course! It's so simple!!"
