Actually, I'm nearing the end of the middle, which in my humble opinion is the utter worst place in the universe to be. The loathsome middle in question happens to be in Curse of the Black Heron , but it wouldn't matter. I've never met a middle I liked, and if the middle weren't CotBH, it would be something just as bad, or worse.
Writers come in all sorts.
There are folks who dread the blank page, and who have an absolute terror of getting the thing started, but once they've been plugging on a bit, they're fine. There are folks who start well, middle well, and hate endings. My problems with middles come from several directions at once and conspire to leave me in a state of siege. When the Bough Breaks are all characters who just showed up. My characters keel over and die on me at the damnedest times, too.
