So yeah…
I have this weird quirk when writing that as I approach the end of the story I struggle more with the writing. And I can’t say whether it’s because I’m not always fully planned to the end of the tale or whether subconsciously I don’t want to end the story or what.
I’m currently working on Michael: Relations the third in a series of YA Science Fiction books, and I know I only have a few chapters ahead of me before the work is done. I even have the plot point I want to close out the story on… but these last few chapters have been like pulling teeth to get finalized.
Another consideration is that my editing brain overwhelms the creative, get it on paper and worry about how craptacular it is in the editing process brain. I seem to edit as I go which slows things down immensely!
I’m within a few pages of completing this latest chapter and the overwhelming thought from editor brain is “how does this scene forward the theme of the chapter?” RRRRRR…
