I have stalled. I haven't written in 8+ weeks. It's true, the end of the book is the hardest part to write. I have so much going through my mind, so many distractions. I find myself exhausted, too tired to write and just no creativity flowing. I know the story intimately but struggling to put it down. After such a great start I'm stuck.

I've been blessed with a stretch of a few days off and am trying to take advantage of the peace and quiet and do some writing - so far so good but I have to cut my alone time short and get back home - unforeseen circumstances have derailed me.

There's a battle raging on, the sinister evil one does NOT want me to finish this book. He will lose! I am fighting through this and while my self-imposed timelines have been crushed, God has other plans and it will all work out for good in His perfect timing.
