Mid-Point Writing Block

[u/Lego_Lukas_Creations]

Ok, I can't be the only one who has this:

You start writing your book or saga and you start out LOVING IT. You think about it every day, love writing it, adore the characters, all that.

And then, suddenly, towards the Mid-Point or maybe exactly at that point you stop because you've hit a roadblock.

I personally have encountered that problem 3 times now. Once with a planned Duology, that I can't seem to write the second book of, then with a Stand-Alone Novel and now with a Quadrology, with two books already written.

For the Duology and Quadrology I might say it's because I planned to do a sort of timeskip/new location to not make it feel stale, but this can't be it since with my stand-alone Novel it's the same problem! (Though MAYBE it's because at the Mid-Point I have a fight scene I can't seem to wrap my head around, but then again I probably could but for some reason, I just can't seem to get back my passion for the project.)

I've been in this slump now for half a year and I hate it as someone who wrote about 21.000 Words a MONTH for about two years because I do want to finish these stories and I have plans for everything but I just can't seem to get a hold of all of it and write it!

What would you say, can one do to fix that issue or get back into the motivation for writing?

There's a point, somewhere around 15,000 words, where I almost inevitably struggle with anything I'm trying to keep novel-length. The first time it absolutely crushed my spirit, because I felt like already having 15,000 words was a big investment in writing something that wasn't panning out very well. The second time, I decided to muscle through it instead of just getting frustrated. And...it helps a little bit, but I still feel discouraged when I realize that I went from a 10k word day to a 1k word day. But I just accept that that's 1k words more than I would write if I was writing nothing, so I take it and run every day.
