Well, when things get tough I've got a few tricks:
1. Just completely let the characters go where they want no matter how batshit. 2. Make them do something batshit. 3. Ooo, there's also the trick I do where I write down all of the dialogue first so I know how the scene is going to go and then write the dialogue around it. It's what I'm doing now, actually. 4. Are you writing linearly? Skip ahead if need be. Try writing scenes you know you need to or want to write and then backstep until you get to the problem scene. At least that way you know where your destination is.
