DAWN progress

There are only three 'chapters' of A MAGIC OF DAWN remaining to be written, but they're big chapters and critical ones: the final crisis and resolution of the novel. But I haven't been working on them -- mostly because I'm not quite certain exactly how the events here have to play out. Instead, I've gone back and started on the revision pass through the novel -- cleaning up the mistakes, adding the missing foreshadowing for various events, correcting things in the revision notes I've been making as I went along, adding in another viewpoint character's sections as I go along, and generally getting the novel into submission shape.

I could be drafting the scenes that still need to be written, and maybe I should be. But I find myself balking when I start to work on them, which I've learned is generally a nudge from my subconscious that it's not happy yet and is still working on something. So to keep the forward momentum going while the subconscious takes care of its issues, I'm revising -- which I would have had to do anyway. When the subconscious lets me know what it wants, I'll go back to drafting.

The book's due in a little more than a month, after all. I still intend to meet that deadline...

So -- when you're writing, what are the signals your subconscious sends you when it's not happy?
