All Systems Stopped

I keep trying to regain the pulse of my novel venture, but I seem to have lost it completely.  I can see to the end, but every thing in the middle is muddled.  I call it terrible frustrating.  Don’t worry, I intend to keep chugging along.  But I feel as though no one told me please mind the gap.  For now, I’m stuck.  I await the jaws of life.
