Madeleine Even MORE Frightened

I am stuck on one paragraph again. Now THIS is the most important paragraph in Story #1. I thought the dreaded paragraph of a month ago was the most important paragraph in the story--and by most important I mean most difficult paragraph to write--but no, it's this one, the one I am in the middle of right now.

If I could just write this one paragraph, then the whole section and thus the whole story would fall into place.

Why didn't I finish this story last week? Why aren't I revising now?

(I don't work that way, obviously.)

My first impulse is to call it a night--I'm too tired, I'm not thinking clearly enough, I'm in the middle of it and I need to step back--but that's what I did last night, and here I am again.

I'm not panicking, but I am very uncomfortable. Ert.

Story #2 looks like paradise right now, heaven. I can't wait until I'm writing Story #2. It is going to be so much easier to write than Story #1, and, anyway, I won't let it come to this...

Prepare for disappointment, readers!
