Chapters of DOOM!
Maybe you're luckier than me, and don't have this problem. But every book I've written has at least one Chapter of DOOM!
*thunder*
*lightning*
*ominous music*
No matter how many times I rewrite it. No matter how many different ways I revise it. EVERY time I get revision notes I have to go back to that same STUPID chapter and rewrite it all over again.
It.
Is.
So.
Frustrating!!!!
It's so ridiculous that even my CPs know my Chapters of DOOM!, and as soon as I start to say, "would you mind taking a look at a chapter and telling me if I'm finally on the right track with it?" they reply back with, "it's chapter X, isn't it?
*sigh*
So, it's probably no surprise at this point that I'm battling a Chapter of DOOM! at the moment. And I am not exaggerating when I say it has been absolute and total DOOM.
DOOM!!!!
But after several weeks of stressing/panicking/going-emo-tastic-and-shoving-my-revision-notes-under-the-bed, plus SEVERAL lengthy emails to my amazing editor filled with what if??? and but then... and HELP!!!!* --I think hope am-ready-to-promise-my-firstborn-child-to-the-forces-of-the-universe-so that maybe, MAYBE I have FINALLY figured out what the problem is and will actually GET IT RIGHT this time.
It is far, FAR too early to tell--and I'm sure I will probably still be making small tweaks to this cursed chapter right up until text lock (and then probably crossing things out and scribbling in the margins of the finished book). But I am REALLY hoping this will be the last major overhaul.
Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please let that be the case.
PLEASE!!!!
