As a fellow writer, your positive reply means a lot to me. I definitely plan to finish this within the next couple of days. Although the story isn't completely plotted, I do see the general direction fairly clearly.
As far as plotting (especially if you see the general direction) I highly recommend getting yourself to a local park, or if you live near the countryside even better.
Put your phone on airplane mode, keep the voice recorder handy then go for what is known as a 'productive meditation walk' and just think about the story, making voice notes as you go.
Make sure you don't engage with anyone, not even a nod and a good morning, get as isolated as you can, it really works wonders!
Yeah, I'm rooting for you on this one; I can feel that if you put in the 'thinking time' it's going to be a right cracker :-D
Oh and timewise, make sure it's at least 50 minutes, no more than 90 mins, if you're going to write straight after, give yourself another 90 mins of just relaxing and not thinking about the plot, it's like steroids for the brain! :-)

No worries, you deserve the encouragement! :-)
