Making lemonade - with a paper cut
For two days I have been forcing words from my fingers, absolutely forcing them. We’re only talking about thirtyish pages here, but it’s like squeezing juice from a shriveled old lemon with a paper cut on your hand—once something finally comes out you wince. I’m losing confidence, wondering if I can really pull this off. It’s not feeling promising, but still, I grind on. I have to. I made a pact with several other writers on the Editorial Ass blog and I must finish this by July 1. Writing these last three chapters has been the hardest part of the whole manuscript. So what am I doing blathering on in my blog? Got to get back to that desiccated lemon!

July 1?!? Yikes!! I say just get something that appears to be an ending, but may in fact need serious revision -- that seems easier than trying to actually write something GOOD.
Didja make it?
Watch some fireworks for me, okay?
YES!!!!!!!! Made it. It will take about a week to put a bit more meat on the bones, but all chapters are written and in place.
