I'm stuck. I really want to finish chapter three and get onto the next chapter, but I have writers block. So, I'm turning to my readers. I do have a beta, but I don't want to bog her down too much.
Now, I explained in the letter at the end of Chapter one about the folder. Well, the chapter I'm writing is one of the stories from the folder. I'll post Chapter 2 soon so you will understand where I'm going, but pretty much it is chapter 35 from Order of the Phoenix.
I'm stuck at the place between Neville's first shout of "Stupify" (before he breaks his nose) and Hermione getting hit by the spell. I'm frozen there. I can't get passed it. I've been there for weeks and it is irking me!
I was going to focus on another chapter, but decided that that wouldn't be good because when I came back to this chapter and finish it and went back to the chapter I had worked on, everything might have changed and I would have to rewrite that chapter all over again. I don't think I could take that.
I'm sorry if I'm rambling, I'm just frustrated. I'm hoping some of you can help me. Give me ideas. Jump start my brain.
I hope all that made sense. If you need to, please PM me.

Hmm maybe you have Harry step in give Neville some points and also can you make your writing a bit larger it hard to read

Heh, that is what I also need help with. I need to re-format it, I used the Preformatted Text code button, but it made the text small and also made the message really wide. Instead of scrolling vertically, you also have to scroll horizontally, or at least on my end. The thing is I can't modify it, when I go to modify it the subject box, attachment box, everything that you use for posts, isn't there. It is all blank. I've PMed Point_Given about it and hopefully he will get back to me soon. I really don't want to have to redo the whole thing.
Oh, this story is just the Weasleys reading the book. They are reading it while the trio is on the hunt. I might bring in one person ( It's a secret) later on, but I'm not too sure.

Perhaps Ginny can mention some of the damages done to Hermione by the curse

I've already got that part. It's the parts before that, when they are actually fighting, like the guy with the baby head and such. I can do the reactions to when the people get hurt (or in Sirius' case, killed), it's mostly the before scenes that I'm having trouble commenting/reacting too. I don't like oneliners and I already have a few and I'm trying to get it to stay that way.

I'm fine with you sending stuff to me if you need the help and I would get back to you as fast as I can.

The idea for this story was to have the Weasleys read the Deathly Hallows, but have important chapters from the other books put in here and there when the topic came up (i.e. Harry's treatment with the Dursleys, Sirius' death, ect.). Right now I'm on Sirius' death, "Beyond the Veil" chapter 35. i'm in the midst of the fighting scenes. I was fine until I got past Ron and the brains. Now I'm in a hard part to comment on, the part when it is just Harry and Neville and the death eaters. I don't know what to do with that.
I just sent it to you.

Hmm, sounds like a classic case of advice, fear and worry! Molly would be all about the fear and worry, probably screaming her head off at certain points, while the others... well, they would probably say what they would do or saying 'No! Don't do that!' Just a few suggestions... I'll think of more... But it seems Dimcairien has it.

Yeah it's just the Weasley's, no trio. It's set right after their departure.

Ginny would be the calmest of the lot...and the twins the most excited at first. Are any of my suggestions helping? Or Dimcairien's, if she has responded yet?

I actually, sort of, made the twins a little OC. I have kept Ginny pretty calm. It is working, but I would like some ideas to kick my brain into start.
