I write and I write... · 5:37am Aug 19th, 2015
I write and I write... yet somehow the latest chapter of H'ven Sent refuses to grow! Is there a black hole swallowing my words. Is there a write-once, read-never buffer between my brain and my keyboard?
WHY?????
It happens... though my usual method of "just leave it for a couple of months" is probably not what you're looking for as solution
Nope. Definitely don't want to do that.
I have this problem when trying to write anything. Though ideas aren't the problem, I get stuck in "editing-loops" where I know I can make a sentence better but can't think how. Then I get angry and delete 2k words.

"All these words are now meaningless!"
3414339 And I've done that a few times this chapter....

Ouch, but as long as you are more satisfied with what you have just written compared to what had been deleted, that is what matters.
