I'm kinda stuck. Help? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/asia-philippines/threads/40440 precious.valisno Okay, school's been eating up my time - when I say time, what I really means is 16 hours of every day. I have a bad schedule this semester and I have to stay in school longer just to attend my last class. Going home is a difficult matter. I've been trying to write during late at night, weekends and Mondays. Sometimes I'm just so into the story, I'm so ecstatic and happy about it that one sitting can give me around 7000 words. But sometimes that state of being ecstatic and happy and "sure" stops. And then I'm left in front of the laptop, my hands hovering over the keyboard and asking myself: what's next? But the truth is...I sort of know what will happen next. I just don't know how to write it. And sometimes I feel like skipping the part - I did it once and after that I was able to write continuously. What do I do? Should I skip the part? Or still write it? I know what happens in the latter part of the story - I have it all planned in my mind. But I'm having trouble dealing with the middle part. What do guys suggest? Help? Thank you SO much!

Go for story parts that you really feel connected to so you can keep on churning out big word counts given the time you got. The name of the game is to write as much as you can. You can make sense of it once you've reached the finish line. I'm pretty sure it would be easy to organize your chapters once the pressure is out. :) Another suggestion: if you have pockets of free time, kahit 15 mins. lang, write in longhand. Keep a notebook & pen close to you so that when inspiration strikes, you can commit it to paper. :) Sun, 20 Nov 2011 23:21:13 -0700 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/asia-philippines/threads/40440?page=1#forum_thread_comment_789086 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/asia-philippines/threads/40440?page=1#forum_thread_comment_789086 precious.valisno Oh thank you!
