I've been working on Ch 35 of Prove It for the past few weeks now. The first section was pretty easy and then it hit the actual fear landscape. After two or three writing sessions that's finally in a pretty good position. But now that I'm in the post-trial scene and it's just a huge struggle. There are so many points that could be hit - the Al bullshit, what happened in the landscape, rankings coming up next, things with Eric. But when I start to focus on one it feels less important and like I'm missing out on one of the others. Hrk!

I almost posted what I had last night but I stopped once I realized that what I had outlined for ch36 wasn't really enough for a full chapter nor did I want to merge it with the outline of ch37. So I think that I'm going to put in those last two beats (one might get cut because it just doesn't add anything to Tris' arc at all) and then post once I've done another fine tooth comb through it.

It's frustrating since the past few chapters have been more or less straightforward by the time that I got to the ends of them. I don't want to be overthinking things and lose my momentum.

On the other hand, if I can't get things to work in the next few days I might divert and work on another chapter update on something else (or something new). I got my assignment for the [community profile] rule63exchange so it would be good to get some work in on that... I haven't done R63 fic before with the fandom I ended up with (actually I think I haven't done ANY R63 fic yet). I am trying to not overthink things with it! Time will tell if I'm successful.
