: Re: What to do with 'blank' chapters? I have a chapter outline for the novel series I'm writing, and I have a few 'blank' chapters where I don't know what to write in them. I need to do something

Although, as RobtA suggests, a story can resemble a history, a story is really a path from where the character(s) start to where the character(s) finish. If the end of the last completed chapter before the gap is at the same place as the start of the first completed chapter after the gap, you have no gap.

So look at where the character(s) are (both as bodies and as people) at the points in question. You need only worry about whatever differences there are between these two points.
