1st Draft Blues

I am very nearly done the 1st draft of Titan: City Under Siege. I am at he point where I am finding it difficult to slug through this last bit even if it has lots of action and closes off all the plot points throughout the book. I find the 1st drafts are the hardest. You are working from scratch and ploughing through page after blank page. It's more of a marathon where as I find the subsequent drafts more of a sprint as they are typically just numerous rewrites and edits. For "The Midnight Hour" The first and second were hard but my own skills were not there as well (and I know its arguable whether they are even there now). I still think I will be able to stick to a Spring 2013 time line for "City Under Siege" as long as the next couple drafts go as smooth as I am hoping they will.
