    Whaaaaat it's been over a week since the last general question? KILL THE ADMIN AND SCORCH THE EARTH!

    This week's general question has to do with first chapters, considering a lot of us are finishing up the first week of LMS: What's the hardest time you've had writing a first chapter? The easiest? Why?

    Lms has made it easier to write, so has Word Wars, without those any time writing for me is dead.

    Like, singular hardest time? Ha. Haha. Most of my first chapters are like pulling teeth to get written. Especially after finishing Hayden, I struggled A LOT. Probably because I felt a pressure that because I'd finished something, I had to produce something new, if that makes sense?

    Sarah, I definitely know the feeling. Ever since I finished my NaNo last year, I've been feeling like I have to one-up myself and force new ideas so I can start and finish something new. (Of course, this is also to make it so that my NaNo isn't the only thing I've ever finished. Because ugh.)

    Lately, my hardest first chapter to write is on my Balance rewrite. I have so much new worldbuilding in my head that it's hard for me to reconcile this story with the story I had before, and I'm thinking of changing the title, but Balance is so short and simple. Bleh. xD
