Stalled....

poo.

I'm totally stalled on the next part of my story Choices... the closer I get to the end, the harder it's becoming to write. And the really frustrating thing is, that for once I actually know how this is going to end!! I've got the climax all figured out, have had it for a long while now, but the getting there is proving really difficult, and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I want to be writing the ending, I dunno... but I just can't seem to get anything 'on paper'. This whole week, I've done maybe 100 words! I had hoped the weekly challenge might've unblocked me, but it isn't looking like it.
I'm very frustrated...

Also, I'm starting to feel a bit down about the story in general, because I'm starting to realize I'm not writing it as efficiently as I should be... and I'm doing too much 'telling' instead of 'showing'... But how do you ask someone to beta a piece of work that is already several thousand words long?? I've never had a beta, but one can only edit their own work so well... on the otherhand, I'm always so impatient after getting a part written, I don't know how I could wait before posting it... :o) Guess I'm hopeless...

I'm very thankful for all the shiny comments everyone has left me, and if I haven't said so after some parts, I really am. I appreciate every single one, and it really boosts my spirits and helps me to keep at it...

just wish I could restart the engines :o/

Depending on the type of editing you want, I'm willing to beta. I odn't care how long it is. I'm ok at the grammer/punctuation thing but my real strength is structure and flow. I haven't read your stuff yet so I don't know if you need someone like that.
Actually, I think I'll check out your fics now.

Oh no... don't stall. Seriously I love your fic. Definitely hooked.

I might try writing the ending now if it really wants to come out. Just because you've written it doesn't mean it has to be posted. You could always rewrite later but it might get the story flowing again in your head. Does that make any sense?

The weekly fic challenge is always good for a break and if all else fails you could just make another shirt and wait for the motivation!

Hoping this was some encouragement. My own fic is still on paper... needs a lot of work.

Good luck,
Keep flying!
