zeborahInstead of being stuck on various points in chapters 1-4; or chapter 5 (solution: delete everything); or various points in chapters 1-16; or chapter 17 (solution: go so wild with the plot that it turns all my plans for the rest of the book upside down. Though it was awfully fun); or various points in chapters 17-20; or the first, second, third, and penultimate scenes of chapter 21 (being the final chapter of the accursed book); ...I'm now stuck on the very final scene of chapter 21.
Once I'm finished that, I get to go back and get stuck on rewriting pretty much every chapter according to the three pages of notes I have of stuff what needs to be fixed - ranging from "cup of birchwood" (instead of metal) through "wordplay on the Ave Maria doesn't work when that part of the Ave Maria didn't exist yet" to "that huge thing that happens in chapter 15? Make the opposite happen".
Despite some of these being rather large things to fix, I *think* that fixing things will at least feel easier than the general wading-through-molasses that the first draft has been.
