That “Bad” Chapter.

Writing a novel is educational, and stressful.  Probably more stressful than anything else.  There are so many areas where writers get tripped up.  The other night I was talking to my son who is also an aspiring writer.  He was telling me about a friend of his who had been working on a novel for three years. “Three years? What’s the hold up?”  I was pretty astounded that someone could stall that long on their work in progress.  “There’s this one chapter that just doesn’t work right and they keep going over it trying to fix it.”  Ahah, now that was something I could relate to.  The “Bad” chapter.  That one chapter that you have to have to make your story progress, but which always feels forced or ill worded.  It just doesn’t work.

So what do you do with a bad chapter?  Well, for me the solution was to skip it.  That’s right, I skipped it.  I put two sentences that explained what I needed to happen to progress the story and moved on.  Once I had a good flow going on the next couple of chapters, I had the bad chapter figured out.  One of the things that helped with this was that I had a decent outline for the whole story.  It wasn’t super detailed, but it was enough to allow me to put a placeholder in the said chapter and move on.  Once the story unfolded in the next chapters, what needed to happen in the bad chapter became obvious.  Super easy! Well not really, but it did work for me.

Writing is difficult under the best conditions, but being stuck is the worst feeling ever.  Anything that can get you out of that is welcome.  The more you write, the easier it gets, and the easier it gets, the more you want to write!
