I attribute this to creating detailed outlines and notes before I write, getting the major (and most of the minor) pieces together before you start on the real manuscript. Then once you start, your outline tells you where to go, and you can concentrate on being creative along the way... or just pound out the scene, and be creative during later re-editing passes.
I think that is what I have got. I gave up on the book and put it on the back burner, and have not touched it since. I have tried to start a few other books, got as far as the title and stopped. Even my Blog has died a death in recent months, as has my interest in reading and this Forum. I just think I have other things on my mind which is sapping all my creative vision at the moment.
