Someone...please...help

So, I'm doing a fanfiction for The Animals of Farthing Wood. Of course, it is about the snakes. It's S3 from Adder's veiw. Now, I've got several blocks. I've only put up three chapters plus an Prologe so far. I'm having a lot of trouble with some of the other chapters and I feel like I'm repeating the same thing over and over again (I am planning on ending every chapter with them going to sleep...kinda like the Brady Bunch

!)

In the Ninth chapter, I have *The First Day* and so on until *The Last (seventh) Day*, referring to the entire week of Adder and Sinuous attacking the nest unitl Sinuous' death.
So, would any FW folks lend me a hand?

Sometimes when you feel you're repeating, you might actually be adding up something new. Take my example in my series: its lways the same characters, same places, although with new situations.

Did I get the problem well?

...Not quite what I was aiming for XD ! I'm stuck on the story itself. There's a lot of gaps here and there and I don't know what to do with them, especally with 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Ah, a dead-end, like I usually call them. XD
I don't know, in those cases, the best thing to do is read the story a few times until you think up something.
I know I'm not much help...
By the way, writing the story haead of the chapter you are stuck in usually helps...

I've pretty much done that

. I've already got the Epilouge completed and a whole lot of other stuff down the Yellow Brick Road. I just don't have the beginnings, middles, or ends to a lot of them.

See what I meant? I'm not much of a help there... I've got the exact same problems with beginnings.

But, wow, you already wrote the Epilogue?! Man, the most I've written in advance would be a few and good 2/3 chapters, if that much!

It can be hard, when you write the story, and then due to previous chapters you don¥t know what to say, hope that does¥t happen to me <_<

I¥m sorry, guess i wasn¥t much of a help was I...

I've been thinking about how this one's going to be for a VERY long time. With me being an AdderXSinuous nut it's easy, but with there being so little of them, it's hard at the same time. I brainstorm a lot...and I've just brainstormed a bit more

Is the story online somewhere?
