Middle Ground

I tend to go full tilt when I am really into a project. The story follows me in my every moment. Sometimes everything flows so well. The characters and plot work. The words just come and all gel seamlessly. In writing when you reach the middle of a book or as I like to say middle ground you have to keep the story going forward. When I reach the middle ground I know that I need to start thinking of what I will do to get to the final ground – wrap up the story. There is a lot to do between the middle ground and the final ground. Tying up all the lose ends and making sure the story continues to flow to that cumulating point.

That’s where I am now middle ground and working to the final ground. I’m right smack dab in the middle ground of my current work in progress. This story flowed so well and fast I almost missed that I was at middle ground and ready to start my slide into final ground. So now that I became aware of where I was in my book I am planning my steps to my final ground. Ahh… the final ground where you get to say the end and know the story is done. At least until you start editing and revisions. LOL.

So I am off to continue with my move to final ground.
