I am not sure about this either. With short stories it used to be that my brain worked out where a story was going, so then it added one million complications and extra layers and stuff because otherwise it'd get bored. Now it seems to be more that my brain works out where the story's going and then it stalls. And weirdly it's started to do this with novels too. I simultaneously know too much and not enough about the piece--too much about the overarching plot, not enough about what's happening right now right here.

Maybe post-VP flailing? Consequence of trying to process everything all at once? Maybe it's just that I have to sit down and really immerse myself in the characters, the atmosphere, etc.?

Yeah. That sounds about right.
