5 Hacks When You're Lost Writing a Chapter

You're not a writer if you've never been absolutely lost while working on a piece, whether a blog, an article, or, especially, the chapter of a book. Writing is thinking in motion.

And, ultimately, how does the thesis of this chapter support the overall book idea? When you're lost, it's time to strip it all back a bit.
