That's really good advice. I feel like I have to push through, though. Even if I'm not happy with it, it can still be changed later.

As someone that writes a lot: trust me, don't just push through it like that. You'll end up deleting a lot of pages in a row (at least that's what happens to me). Sit aside, read something that you really really really like (harry potter always does it for me, lol) and then try again
When stuck on a chapter, I like to think about it a lot, rather than just write? I don't know if that advice will apply to you though. But I like to contemplate, then get something down. Maybe if you're really stuck, write something that is not your book (books get draining. constantly the same thing) even if it's just really short

@Ashley Coulson do you know how many words you've done? I'm around half way through my book too

@Gabriella Haworth I'm not sure. 15,000, maybe more? It's not going to be very long.
EDIT: Just counted, about 20,000

@Ashley Coulson @Lillian Davis cool! Lillian I'm sure it doesn't suck, it'll be great, and mine is at 40,000 words rn but I'm around 2/3 of the way through it. I'm hoping for 60-70,000 by the end (of the first draft.... then mass editing ensues lol)
And good luck! Are you hoping to publish it some day, or not?
