Losing steam near the finish line

I have been pushing for two weeks. Struggling the last couple days. Tonight I am calling it. My momentum on this work in progress has crapped out and although I am so damned close to done, I think I need to take a break.

I don’t want to write this anymore. Not right now.

For every paragraph I write, my mind is drudging up plot holes that need filling.

I still don’t have a perfect ending. And it’s the end.

I don’t even like what I’m writing now.

Now I will tell everyone who will listen the most important part of writing is to finish what you write. You can’t truly fix anything that hasn’t been completed to begin with. But when doubt starts to take over and nothing is coming easily, I have found that my best method is to just take a step back.

Wait for it to call again. Think on it. Work on something that excites you.

It’s not going anywhere.
