Onward and upwards!

Thank you for the comments and show of support on my last post. I find myself really excited about Strangetown again and wanting to get to Chapter 36, where lots of plot and drama starts happening and I get to do all sorts of things I've been waiting forever to do. There's only one thing standing in my way: Chapter 35 (part four). *groan* I think the only thing that will get me over this hurdle is my desire to get to the next chapter. I'm tempted to just post, "Bottom and Vidcund eventually find a way out of Faerie and some other stuff happens that I'll tell you about later and then Vidcund has to return to Strangetown because PT is dying. The End."

But no, I feel I must complete it properly. I swear, when I finally post that chapter my notes will simply read, "Fuck you, Chapter Thirty-Five. I WIN!"

That's always a frustrating, yet also exciting, place to be in; being bound by a chapter, when you have other ideas planned. I've been there too. You just got to sit down and get that part over with. Sometimes you'll the outcome can be a lot better than you evert expected. Strange things can happen in the writing process. Glad you're getting over the hurdle.

Please excuse the typos, I am typing on the world's worst keyboard. Or, maybe it's really the world's best keyboard, because I haven't killed it yet. It has very few letters left on it though.

I'm sure I wouldn't have even noticed. I'm like the Queen of Typos, and I don't even have a good excuse beyond lack of proof reading. :P

I'm pretty guilty of that myself. ;)

I think this particular chapter is getting to me so much because it's mostly not essential to the story. I've worked in some things that are and there's some story there that I do (or did) want to tell, but if I dropped it, it probably wouldn't really matter that much to the story at large. It was always a bit of a tangent and now I just want to get back on the most direct path I can find to what's important to the story.

Thank you for the pep talk. :) I really do appreciate it. You're right about good things often coming from fighting your way through these things. I hope that ends up being the case here, rather than me simply running out of care juice and walking away from it.
