I was browsing dog supplies at PetSmart when inspiration arose within me; suddenly, out of the blue, I’d solved a motivation for one of my characters.
Sometimes it can happen like that. Most of the time, however, the only real way to solve a character problem is to put one’s nose to the grindstone and write it out. Try a scene different ways, or write a monologue between you and your ticked-off character, working out the issues that are blocking you from forward progress in the story.
It tends to work.
