Never Ending Novel

I am a master novelist, or rather master novel starter.  Why don’t I just finish them?  That is an excellent question.  I always hit a road block about 3/4 of the way through and never seem to be able to get the ending down on paper.

Take a break and come back to it.  That’s the advice I get, and while it sounds good in theory, the more time I take away from a novel the less attached to it I become.  Then, I start revising and editing instead of drafting out a conclusion to the story.  So, it becomes a never ending story.

Oddly, when enough time passes, I can be drawn back into the writing process but  it becomes overwhelming to get the ball rolling again.  My goal for 2019 is to complete a novel and have it ready to submit for publication.  It’s already August, so that leaves me 4 more months to complete a full novel and edit for submission.

Let’s start the clock counting because I am going to meet my goal this year.  Good thing I’m already 3/4 of the way there!  Now, to find some endings!
