Reframe Writer's Block as a Signal Rather Than a Wall
Stuck is not one feeling: not knowing what happens next is a different problem to being afraid of writing a scene badly. This names what your specific stuck point is actually signalling about the draft, gives one concrete thing to do about it today, and one thing to stop doing that is making it worse.
<context>

**Reframe** {STUCK_POINT}:
1. Identify what kind of stuck this actually is: not knowing what happens next, not believing the scene matters, being afraid of writing it badly, or something else
2. Match that specific kind of stuck to what it is usually signalling about the draft, not about the writer's discipline
3. Give one concrete action to take today that responds to that specific signal, not generic advice to just write
</task>
