My Novel Feels Like It's Falling Apart

I’ve spent months inside this part of the story, and now I’m at its final movement. The climax. But instead of feeling triumphant, I found myself drowning in doubt. What if I’d already broken the story? What if, like the novella I gave up on last year, this one was starting to collapse too?

In this episode, I face the pressure of writing an ending when nothing feels ready. I talk with my publishing partner, A H Serrano, about what it means to finish something before it’s perfect, and why momentum might matter more than clarity.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the middle of something meaningful… this one’s for you.
