When writing, you know you are in trouble when...

...a minor character suddenly becomes more interesting than the protagonist and tries to take over.
Figging Mint:
^ I call that "fun".

Gotta love it. OTOH, I didn't write a word two weekends ago, but I WROTE the most incredible full bodied minor character into a inter-related key element. Word count ain't everything, and sometimes, I think it is one of the minor functions of effective story telling.
MClark:
When an idea you hoped would be a 5000 word short story is now at 10000 words, and your critique group tells you "you're telling a lot. You need to expand this whole chapter into two or three and show more."
Silent Death:
... you can't write the first chapter. AAAGHHH! It's so frustrating! I've got my outline written, but i can't write the first freakin' chapter! Not even the first page! AGGGGGGGGH!
