Writing with concrete boots!

Yep, that's how it feels sometimes.
It's not always a bad thing, and it can be pretty!

I am rewriting a book and the last chapter has taken me forever to re-write. It's not a block, just lots of backtracking.
Walking my dog in the rain this morning I pondered on this problem.

Reasons for concrete boots-

Real life distractions - turn off the phone and shut the door to your writing space. If needed put a sign on it saying disturb only in an emergency. When family visits decide to honour your writing or put it aside until they have gone. No half measures. Turn off the guilt in your head, and make a decision.

Another part of the story is interfering with your thought process - write this first - maybe in note form so you do not forget the idea, and then return to what you were working on  

Another story is interfering - write a few ideas down and file it. Be firm with yourself, finish the edit or rewrite you are working on first, you can start another story while you put this one aside.

There is a problem with the plot - re look at the plot as a whole, maybe you have made a twist too soon, or not soon enough.

There is a problem with the character - check the character is reacting in the way their personality dictates.

There is a problem with the scene- maybe it is not needed at all. Check it is necessary for the story to progress. What does it add? Don't delete just put it somewhere or leave it and ask Beta readers their opinion.

It is backstory - if it is not exciting when you write it, it may not be exciting to read, is it needed at this point or in this detail?

I am sure that my problem is that the scene is not necessary, I may send it to my Beta Readers and see what they say or I may have the courage to cut it out and save it as a reject!
