Getting nowhere


I'm trying to write one of two scenes, both very intense, very visceral; totally different. One involves a sunlit room, the other a dead hand. Sadly, the men tearing up the tarmac outside my window aren't helping. My thoughts are neither sunny nor handy. I feel under seige. Anyone with any suggestions that might help (apart from moving house temporarily, which is sadly not an option)?

Add them in!! That'll break their hold - once they're in your story, their power becomes yours ...

Ooh nice suggestions, thanks MD and AB. Anne, I especially like your recipe for stealing their power!
