As to being stuck, you've been going very fast on Deadfall; it might just be time for that other part of writing (or any creative endeavor), the part where you do other things while the story comes together in the back of your mind.
It being right after Thanksgiving, I'm prompted to use the "while the food sits in the refrigerator, the flavors blend, so everything is better as leftovers" analogy.
But when you're ready to be typing new words already, that other part of the process is frustrating. Especially since it's mysterious. It's hard to know if you need information, or inspiration, or just time, until you find yourself suddenly knowing what to type next.
