The next two chapters of "Swept Away!" are short - Chapter Five at 2,445 and what is ostensibly Chapter Six at only 1,809 - but I can't figure out where to shove in more words. Should I go with short, or shove them together into one longer chapter, or keep beating my head trying to come up with more details until I can get to 3,000 on each? I realize that my goal of 3,000 words per chapter is completely artificial, but it seems to work to make me think up details, which these chapters might be a little short on.
The really scary part is, if I shoved them together I'd be a month closer to the point at which I've been hung and can't seem to progress beyond. The ostensible Chapter Seven, which I've begun writing inumerable times. Being closer to it may be either good or bad. I might freeze up, but on the other hand I'm often best at producing when I'm under pressure, because I know I have to just do something.
