That one thing...

Don't you love how sometimes you are writing and you're really not liking what you're writing, but you're writing it anyway and your characters are being boring and your writing is boring and then all of a sudden, one of your characters does something that seems completely innocuous, but that gives you an idea for something else and then all of a sudden, you realize what you need to fix in those characters' relationship and this was all because you really hated what you were writing and one of your characters just did something boring?

Then...

Don't you hate it when you seem to have finally figured out how to fix your plot and your characters suddenly seem to make sense and everything seems to have fallen into place and then you realize that you seem to have completely lost sight of what you were originally going for in the whole project and your story seems to be a slough of cliches and you're doing all the wrong things and you're not sure if your characters are going to work and you're wondering just how you're going to get back on track?
