I’m working on a novel and recently did the research to produce some content for earlier in the book. I incorporated the new content into chapter 2, and then I decided to read the novel from the beginning. Big mistake! I’ve restarted myself that way with short stories but they’re, well, short. Novels, not so much. If I’m going to finish this thing, I need to go back to where I left off … in chapter 13. And not distract myself with all the things that need to be fixed in chapter 1.

My favorite things to write about

I’ve just recently encountered the same problem!
I’ve even heard advice *not to do that* and I did it anyway. 😛
Me too! I know better, but noooooooo stupid me.
I’ve forced myself to go back to chapter 13. How about you?
Gave myself a day to step away from it. It worked. And skipped forward to a scene I really wanted to write 🙂
