How to get past a difficult chapter

Are you getting stuck on a certain chapter and you just can’t seem to finish it?

I get it… we all run into that one chapter that’s so much harder to write than others. So how do you get past this? Let me show you 5 methods you can apply today.

Figure out whether your story can work without this chapter If the chapter doesn’t bring any consequences or change your plot or characters, then it might be a filler. If this is the case, don’t be afraid to drag it to the bin.

Bullet point the important events If you write out a list of things that you need to happen in this chapter, it might create an easier overview for you to follow.

Let yourself improvise Try letting your character’s personality and choices influence their next step, without thinking too much about it. Let them take you in a different direction and they might just surprise you!

Do the opposite of your plan If you had a plan for your chapter but it isn’t working out, reverse it and do the exact opposite. Think of it as an exercise, and this could lead to a fresh perspective!

Leave it for a smarter you If it’s just not happening right now, simply write down a quick summary of the most important bits and move on to the next chapter. Come back to it later! The most important thing is to keep going :)

This is why you can't finish your book

How long have you been trying to finish that idea you had for a book? Why is it that you can never see the finish line?

There’s different reasons for different writers, but in most cases it comes down to one simple thing:

Overwhelm.

You look at your project and you WANT to work on it, but…

you need to research a topic first to write it well

you need to go back and work out a character’s backstory first

you should probably fix the consistency of this character’s voice, they changed so much since you started chapter 1

you probably want to plot this out more

a couple of these chapters here and there are just a mess… which you promised to deal with later

Basically…. you’ve got a HEAP of tasks and issues ahead of you that you have to work out, before you can call the piece complete. And it is SO much work. And it’s overwhelming.

It’s easier to say you’ll untangle it a little later, or when you’ve got a clearer head.

But allow me to let you in on a little secret…

Writing is always messy.

The only way writing gets less messy is if you write it out, and then you rewrite it. And then maybe rewrite it again.

But the only way to move forward is put all these current issues out of your mind, until you finish that first draft, no matter how much of a MESS it is.

It’ll be a smaller mess in the next rewrite.

a: “you’re so pretty.” b: *nervous laugh* “im what?” a: “i said you’re so pretty” (a then proceeds to kiss b)

a is ranting about something, and b kisses them mid sentence to calm them down

slow dancing at the prom, then getting bored and kissing in the parking lot outside of school

person a turning around to leave, then person b grabbing them by the arm, twirling them around and kissing them.

“i’m so happy i could kiss you” “thanks”

kissing in the car as the radio blares, once they get together the song that was playing became their song (you can get creative maybe despacito was playing)

your otp is sitting together in silence and the tension is so terrible b just kisses a

person a wrapping their arms around b’s waist and caressing their cheek with their finger, and then leaning into person b for a kiss

DRUNK KISSES PLEASE I EAT THESE UP EVERY SINGLE TIME I NEED THESE FHEWOFHEFOW

person b carrying a very exhausted person a to bed, then person a sleepily grabs person b’s hand and kisses them. then proceeds to fall asleep

after the kiss, person a looks away, flustered, while person b laughs and kisses them more

THE “CAN I KISS YOU” HFIOHJERIOHOERI
