"Deadline" panic

Does anyone want to help counsel me through some quiet WIP panic? I have these two WIPs that I've been working on for quite some time, both of which are very important to me, and both of which have just-- stopped talking to me. Just planted their feet firmly where they are and refused to go any further. One of them has been like this since the summer, and I recently thought I'd try to pick it up again and found that it's still refusing to cooperate; the other was started more recently, but it's been just as firm in its silence.
