Bracketing

Bracketing is a simple technique to help you get past a line that's troubling you so you can move on.  You just put brackets around that empty line and move on.  It's a way of telling yourself "I know I'm going to get a great line here later".  I know it seems simple but it really does work.  Not for everyone!  But you may try it next time you get hung up on a line.  Sometimes a dummy line works just as well.  One you know isn't the right line but it'll do for now.  Try it both ways and see which one feels better for you.
