When a runner suddenly loses energy and can't continue, it is called hitting the wall.

I remember hitting that when I was a wrestler or ran track.

Writers also have a wall.

Writing is a trained discipline. It is a challenge that relies of faith, discipline, and willpower. Writers hit the wall on a project when they lose faith in a project or their own skills.

I hit the wall with Chapter Seven: Worthy.

I had two major issues. I had a real horrid image of the Tower of Bones, and I feel like I didn't quite capture the pure evil of it.

And then I felt like I wasn't making the duel horrible enough.

Hitting the wall is heart-breaking. You start asking yourself all manner of difficult questions and hitting your head against the all.

I felt so horrible, I might have just quit the whole thing.

Somehow I didn't quit. I concentrated on those two elements and I pushed through.

Tomorrow is Chapter Eight: The Tower of Bone.
