I have had the same experience with my novel, especially the last lines, which were perfect.
Now I'm trying to get my series going, but work is taking up so much time, I haven't had the energy for it.
For me it's been the constant interruptions of keeping a baby alive and happy 😅🤣
I helped edit and finish my husbands book which was something I could do between interruptions, but story is harder as it needs to flow and make sense over multiple pages.
