How's the Writing Going?

The novel was moving along swimmingly for a couple of months, there. Then I got stuck. At first I thought it was because I couldn't decide what to do with the Mississippi River, but it's really this scene with the guns, here. Right now I've got eight characters in a room waiting for me to decide what happens next. They are asking me things like, "Are you sure I need to get shot?" and "Doesn't all this tension seem a bit manufactured?" and "Do we need to keep pointing these things at each other while you figure this out?"

So there's your update.

8 characters in one room is a lot. That's daunting right there. (To me anyway. Perhaps not for you, because you're an amazing writer and all, but ... )
Maybe you should let a couple of them out.
