Day 2 of chapter 4 rewrite

Well it looks like chapter 4 is going to take long to write than I had at first thought. I wrote it up and after giving it a read, I found that it just wasn't going to work. So here I am on day 2 of rewriting it, and it's still not working right. I am at a complete loss because I have no idea what will work for this chapter. I should just rewrite it and leave it until I get all the way finished, but I like the challenge of making something like this work because I obviously love writing this.
So I'm sitting here on my 5th pot of coffee, with that hazelnut creamer that I love when I am writing a lot. Sort of wishing for a little Bailey's to put in there! When I got an email from my agent who is asking me if I want to do a public reading for the first 6 chapters! I had to ask: "Are you fucking kidding me?! I haven't gotten chapter 4 rewritten yet and you want me to do what?"
I seriously doubt that I will have this done by the time I'm supposed to be doing this live reading. I always thought that was saved until the book was almost complete, not when you only have 10 chapters done and they are still being edited. I guess my agent is just stupid, because I am no where near ready for a reading of this book. I need at least 5 more months until I am near being finished.
So until then I am going to be working diligently on getting another 15 chapters written. And I hope that the first 3 chapters that I have submitted for the public preview get a warm reception.
