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.
