Pro tip: The "opposite character" trick actually works for breaking writer's block
Ngl, I was super skeptical when someone told me to take my main character and write a scene where they act completely opposite to their normal personality. Tried it last month during a bad block on my sci-fi short story. I had a super logical engineer character suddenly make a totally emotional decision, and it unlocked a whole subplot I hadn't thought of. Has anyone else tried just flipping a character's core trait to get unstuck?

Tried that and accidentally wrote a whole romance novel about a robot who won't stop crying.
