@pelielios@mjjmori@bookstodon@amwriting It sounds like you wrote the fun part first, and now must bridge the written to the Ended, and don't like or enjoy the foreboding slog.
My 2c, but this is my take. Don't write a connecting bit, just make it 1 scene, a time jump, so the book overshoots this part you're having trouble engaging with/writing.
@pelielios@mjjmori@bookstodon@amwriting Ahh, the dreaded passion. "Kill your darlings", as they say. I've written a fair few scenes with chars not making it, or suffering some huge loss, shed a tear every time. But I know the book will be better for it.
In that case set aside a proper day, schedule the time, and write it out. Get your fav drink n snacks, but you will have to work at it.
And afterwards, it'll look better. It always has for me, again this is just my suggestion, but big, uncomfortable scenes are often the ones I get the most feedback on.
Sometimes, @bookstodon , the landscape of writing is so alien and hostile that you cannot see the book you were writing, the characters you were breathing life into, or the idea you began the entire journey with.
Then you start some #amwriting theory, just talking outloud to a trusted sounding board (in this case my partner), and they politely listen for 15 minutes. They get the joy of being there when you hit upon the ideal turn, the twist, the character revelation that will work, that creates sense once again from your unearthly landscape, that makes it Okay to Stop Worrying, and proceed with your edits.
Then you #amreading over your work, and liking it, and able to plant credible hints throughout the writing that makes the newly discovered ending Just PerfectTM.
Love you all, thank you for the constant support on mastodon, even during my quiet, busy periods.

Ps. "Stainless Steel Souls" is my current work, due out October 1st. Tag me for the presale.
(Its actually an upside down aspect of my friends roof, and they are very much into perspective changes via light. The texture is as rough as it looks.)
