One Step Forward, Two Steps Back... Wait... or Was It Vice Versa?

Well, I finally posted another part of Lyrical Days.
And I don't like it. Now, I normally act like this. The whole, "Woah is me, my writing sucks" spiel and all, but this time I actually have a reason for it.
The pacing is off.
I had put some stupid limit on how long I wanted this part to go, but rather than just write naturally, I tried to constrain myself within those limits. There are parts of this chapter that I cut out entirely (parts that are gone because like an Idiot I just deleted them rather than stored them somewhere) that I feel could have made this chapter much better.
Like my habit of starting a chapter with a vague italics dream like sequences that do nothing but amuse me. Oh, and develop Shirou's character, that's vaguely important isn't it?
So, yeah, I have a chapter that I'm going to have to rewrite, but now I have a better idea of what I'm good at and what I'm bad at.
