    Maybe go through your existing chapters and edit them as you go. Or even read them a few times. Might be an easy way to get motoring again. Good luck!

    Read over what you've got, then do out an outline for where you see the story going. Maybe do a character profile for all your main characters. Then start writing. It will come back to you.

    Trust your instincts. Start wherever you want to, whatever scene you wish you could just pick up and start writing again, even if its the middle of a chapter. Don't try to be logical or sequential, just get back into it.

    Or start something new.

    Good luck!
