Writer's Block vs Being Lazy

I very much apologize for my lack of writing. There really is no excuse for it.

I've gotten into the swing of writing and staying up and trying to finish a page. I really envy people who can write a book in thirty days. I'm luck if I get ten pages written in a month, but could you imagine being able to do that? I would love for it to be that way sometimes.

My problem with writing this book is that right now I'm actually writing three different books. Granted one has a lot more pages written then the others, but the second one I'm writing has been my focal point right now, so it's catching up pretty quickly. I have to say though, I think the last one is my favorite story line so far; the only problem is I only have about ten pages of that written. So my main problem is, which one do I focus on? Now a dream come true scenario would be that I get them all finished at the same time and they all get published right away and then everybody likes them! I know, I know...in my dreams...but hey they are good dreams.

Now first I'll address the latter of my title, which is Being lazy. One, that does have to do with my lack of blogging. (Sorry!) and two, I think referring to the fact that I have the character interactions, certain scenes that I want in the story, and dialogue in my head. The problem is that when I go to write it down - I can't get it out right and thus in my head I think that will happen every time I try to write it out and then I get lazy and don't want to write it.

The Writer's Block has to do with the fact that I have gotten most of the important scenes out of the way, but I don't have much, if any written that leads up to said important scene. So in one story I have the Second chapter written, then I need at least another two chapters before it gets to the next complete chapter that I have written. I guess you can call it filler chapters, although I really am not a fan of that term. The question then, is how can I write 'filler chapters' or sentences that won't be boring or that make me want to skip ahead to the good stuff.
