Stalled Again

I'm now partway through writing Part Four of the "Isles of Dread" adventure/campaign. I'm about 6500 words, and 22 encounter areas, from the end. And once again I'm stalled.

The problem this time is that I just don't have a firm vision of what this part of the adventure should look like. For Parts Two and Three, and even moreso Part One, I had a very clear image of many of the beats that I'd wanted to hit. But with Part Four, other than the need to bring things to a conclusion and wrap everything up, I just don't have that vision.

That's not surprising, I guess. Endings are just hard.

On the plus side, I do have one plan for how to force things forward - I know that there should be about 15 encounters in those 22 encounter areas, so I can sensibly proceed by mapping out what those are, and then populating the rest...
