Today, I find my block in dealing with chapter 14 continues. The chapters before it felt easy and safe to build up to what was coming, but now I have to climb back down from the peak of the book. There is so much I want to hit before I close the book and begin edits.
The problem isnt that I dont know where I'm taking the story, not in the least, its quite the opposite. I know where I want to go and for the most part how to get there, but its making changes and HAVING to change things (see previous post about the characters having a life of their own). I have to get the emotions just right or I wont capture the meaning of the story im telling.
Like the title of this post, Chapter 14 will be called "The Breaking Storm". I fee like this is my problem chapter and the storm may be all BUT broken as its leaving me at writing near 1k works and then turning around to delete it all. Now, my chapters run anywhere from 2.5-4k words, shorter chapters but a decent amount of chapters. You can imagine getting 1k into a chapter to delete and start over a few times could get nerve racking. Im hoping that I find a bit of inspiration, some where.
Thats it for me, for now.
Later
