Day 17: Snowflakes into avalanches

An interesting bout of writing today.  At first I was seriously struggling to advance the story, getting only about 600 words down before I hit a wall.  After pontificating on this for a while I finally just ended the chapter at that point, figuring that if I was fighting to write something interesting that maybe there simply wasn't anything interesting to write for that part, and moved on.  Suddenly things were flowing quite well and I ended up getting about 2,300 words out, bringing the tally to 35,700.
