Writing is hard

Today every word is a struggle. The story, which is a chapter in my next novel, is getting pulled together against its will, and it is not making any sense yet. I have a vision, but I'm not able to convert it into words. I just spent the last thirty minutes writing one painful, awful, sentence after another. I have barely 400 words, and I don't even feel like re-reading them.

I do know that tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I'll be able to make sense of it all and flesh out the chapter. At least for now I have images and ideas already written down.
