Thanks John,
I'll bear that in mind. I think I'll stop editing it now, (even though I've posted it) otherwise I may never stop crying.

I would definitely read a book if I knew the writer herself was gripped by the emotion. Don't be shamed to admit it, word - be excited.

Talion,
Your last sentence says it best. Whatever works best! 
Your method is testament to the fact that no two writers work exactly alike. I tend to write from the beginning to the end, but it also works to write whereever the words are flowing best at any given time. I'm way overdue for a read of your book now.

Spitfire,
Thanks. I do cry easily, so this might not be a great gauge.

I don't write in order either. Currently, I'm juggling a couple scenes needed to finish episode three, but episode four is nearly complete. I've worked on future episodes are far as number seven. While I'm writing, I'll open screens featuring several different scenes from several sections of the book, drifting from one to the next in no particular order. It keeps it fresh and exciting to me to skip around like that and also provides a sense of progress. Whatever works should be implemented and used to the fullest.

Word,
IMO, if you can make yourself shed tears from your own writing, you've certainly got some good stuff going!!
