Ray has undergone some intense therapy to help cure him of his TGS (see last week's check in post), and is well on the way to recovery.

But other than that I have been struggling with my muse (and confidence) all week. There is a big hole in the middle of my story that I can't get my head around. I have written what's before and what's after but the story needs something here (what I call "the boring bit" - necessary but not easy to write).

Anyway, I've sat down this morning and in an hour written 1000 words. I don't know where they've come from, but they just flowed and don't sound too bad. Hopefully, I can do the same later, and I'll soon have the missing chapter.

As for confidence in my writing, I'm rethinking the wisdom of my first Pros (and long) fic being for something as prestigious as the Big Bang. On the one hand I need the committment and deadlines otherwise it just wouldn't get written. On the other: OMG what the **** was I thinking, these other writers have been writing fantastic Pro's fic for years, mine is going to be awful by comparison.

Takes several deep, calming breathes. I just need to keep reminding myself that this story came to me in its entirety for a reason (believe me, this has never happened before!).
