Sarah Miller got me thinking about inertia.
A body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in motion until they are acted upon by an external force.
This is the story of my writing life!
When writing is moving along, it feeds itself. I get new ideas all the time, even (especially) when I'm supposed to be doing something else. When my revising stalls, a huge force is required to get it going again.

Sometimes though, inertia is just a sign you're close to the end of a process, or close to something Totally Unexpected. It's that bit of resistance before the last push or the Big New Idea. Take heart in the Yoda-esque sounding inertia anagram: Near I It.
Maybe I NEAR IT?
or I IN TEAR
or IT IN EAR
