Author Holly Lisle has a marvelous course titled "How to Think Sideways." It teaches writers how to go sideways around obstacles in their life and their writing. I recommend it, but it's aimed squarely at writers. If you're not a writer, you might not get much out of it, but you would get the idea of going sideways.
If you can't go forward and you can't back up, maybe you can go sideways. I don't what that means in all instances, but in publishing, it might mean self-publishing or ebooks or serialization of novels by email. In life, it can mean surprising people.
People have a tendency to pigeonhole other people around them. We categorize people, and sometimes we don't like it when they climb out of the convenient hole we've placed them in.
I'm climbing out of the hole. I don't know what I will be, but it's going to be better than this.
