Defeating the Evil Chapter of Death

Yesterday I finally conquered a chapter that was the very bane of my existence for the last two weeks.  I’m not sure why the chapter was so hard or why it took me so long to get it written, but it was one of those chapters where you sit down and type 200 words only to delete 300 and then question what the heck your doing.  You know, one of those chapters. 

I had to change a lot about what I had originally outlined to make it work, but after doing so I can see how the changes make for a much better story.  I think life is like that too.  You can make a five year plan; know what kind of job you want, the house you want to live in, the town you want to live in, and so on.  And then everything gets turned on its head and miraculously it works out better than you could have ever planned it.  Sometimes you just have to give in and let the story unfold even if it messes with your plans.

Thanks for reading…
