So I've been trying to write a chapter for a while now. It was not working. I finally got through it because I switched character POV.
I am finding that quite often writing is a matter of distance from the story at hand. Sometimes I need my characters to be up close and personal with the story. Other times, such as this one, I need some distance. Distance can help to keep the emotional gravity of the story where it needs to be. Sometimes having a character who is too close to the emotional epicenter of the story can ruin it. It's just blood all over the page.
But this worked and I'm happy it worked. I think I'm getting back into the swing of things with the AU.
