The Neverending Chapter

[wayfaringwordhack]

 I'm writing a chapter that just doesn't want to end. I keep waiting for the characters to work out their problems and give me that sweet chapter-closing line/moment. I'm 4.5K in and I still can tease it onto the horizon.

What do you do when you have a chapter or a scene that just won't give you a break?

Have any advice or techniques you'd like to share?

No other reason that I can think of. Certainly not for torturing characters um, making jewelry. *g*

Jewelry out of characters' tortured psyches. I want some of that! *g*

Whoops, there should have been a strikethrough through "torturing characters." What was my subconscious trying to pull over on me there? :P
