I write science fiction myself, and I keep on getting completely stymied by actual plotting. Ideas? If I could sell them for a dime a dozen I'd be a rich woman. I start lots of things, and then, nothing happens. The few things I've completed, I almost immediately knew what the ending was, and so all I had to do was write towards that.

I also need a critique group, and I haven't been able to find one that works for me. The one I'd most like to join probably wouldn't let me in, because it's all s-f professionals, but boy, could I learn from them!
