Behind Chapter 7

So chapter 7 has finally reached Buzzle.

It's been a weird one for me because I wrote Chapter 6 fairly quickly yet because of the break I'd had, I felt like it was some of my better work. I pretty much ran straight into Chapter 7 and got half way through Christians part in the one great big chunk of writing. I mean, it's not unusual for me to write half of Chapter X into half of Chapter Y and I don't think that's entirely a bad thing because I can be more certain it will flow into each other.

However, this time I wrote that big huge chunk and suddenly became stuck. I just couldn't bring myself to write! Then my family crisis happened and well you can imagine the impact that had on my writing. I was spending time either distracting myself or with family. Yesterday was probably the first time I even opened the word document. 

The thing is, I'd been sat around having just finished my book and I was thinking to myself.. "Stacey, that just doesn't make sense. That's a bit of a flaw in the plot. It's too ridiculous, people won't buy it!" Then, like a flash it  hit me. Nearly two weeks after I started writing it.

I guess it just goes to show, there's no point pressuring yourself into writing because if you do it's not necessarily going to be your best stuff. I enjoy writing and without a doubt that makes it easier, but if I'm not in the mood well I'm just not in the mood. That said, seeing positive comments *cough* Esterella *cough* makes me want to write even more and keep to the schedule's I set myself.

I look through Chapter views (which range from about 424-108) and I think to myself, wow, that's a 100 people who want to hear more! What right do I have to let them down?

I can't describe how much it keeps me going I really can't.

Delays. A Reason and A Warning.

Apologies

I owe huge apologies to faithful readers of Heaven's State because I said I was going to update frequently again and I didn't.

I do have a reason, there's been a bit of a family crisis. I won't go into details for several reasons but it involves my little sister and something that SHOULD have involved the police and has involved victim support. So that should give an idea of how bad the situation has been and the reason why I've been playing escapist instead of writing. (On the plus side I've just finished reading Divine By Mistake by P.C.Cast. FANTASTIC novel!)

Forewarning

Now comes the forewarning. I'm afraid my uploading will become more schizophrenic until around October time for several reasons.

1.) Next Monday I'm away from home, flying to Majorca (FIRST TIME ABROAD) then return on the following Tuesday (the 17th).

2.) THEN on the 23rd I leave for Ireland until the 2nd of September. Going camping with the boyfriend, his cousin and friend. Going to be AMAZING.

3.) SHOULD be uploading lots for a little while but then on the 14th I move to Chester for university. SCARY STUFF!

So yes as the boards at an airport might say.. expect delays!

I will keep posting here as much as I can. Let people know my plans and HOPEFULLY not be so shoddy with uploading.
