The Easy Parts

I've recently started writing in my novel again, after taking a break from it to finish up my spring quarter. It's always difficult to pick up where I've left off, especially if a long time has gone by since I last wrote. This is problematic because I end up needlessly editing small parts or writing new parts of the book that are the easiest to write. I know that most of this work is beneficial towards the completion of my novel in some way, but it sidetracks me from getting some real, substantial work done. I need to really buckle down and focus on writing every night, so that I run out of the easy things to write and am forced to move through the difficult parts in the book. I need to concentrate on the parts of my book that require outside research, or that require other major plot lines to be changed or rearranged. Fortunately, I have all summer vacation to do this :]
