Found this quote in an interview with writer Frederick Manfred, in the book Finding The Words: Conversations with Writers Who Teach, by Nancy Bunge (Swallow Press, 1985):
"I rub my hands in glee whenever I hit a wall in my manuscript and I don't know where to go next. There's a damned good reason why: it's something I don't want to look at. If I can push through and get to that area, I'll find something not only about myself, but something that may be of real value to someone else. And inadvertently, everything you need, the theme, the plot, will jump right out at you as you go along." (pp. 68-69)
