Stuck

I was doing really with my revision for awhile. I studied my story and identified things to move around to make it more exciting and character relationships and conflict to mine to make it more meaningful. I went through scene by scene and figured out how to make it better or if it should be cut, moved or combines with other scenes. I rewrote my synopsis several times, adding new ideas as I thought of them and determining how to fit them in. I started the rewrite getting all the way through the first major change in my main character's life.

And now I'm stuck. I could say that my job is sucking out any extra energy I might have to devote to creative endeavors. I could say that I went into crunch time for the show that I was in recently and had practice almost every night.

But the truth is that those are just excuses.

I think I'm afraid that because I've been having some trouble with these scenes, I'm going to have to rewrite them again. And the whole point of all the work I've done already is to avoid unnecessary rewrites.

But this is stupid. I've been careful and I know that some more revision will be necessary anyway--even if I breezed through these scenes it would be--and if I need to do more to make it better than that's just what I'll have to do.
I need to write through it. The scene I am on will not only deepen the characters in it, there is a major thing that happens that seems relatively small at the time, but actually sets the major conflict of the book in motion. And soon I will get to the point of no return, where my protagonist is locked into mortal battle with the antagonist.

I just need to immerse myself again and then everything else should follow.
