Like unto in the mud

Have approximately finished the penultimate chapter, not counting de-bracketing and the like. Cannot get the I-think-final chapter going.

Am now outlining the end of Memory to try to figure out how she did that -- i.e., managed to have two-and-a-half chapters after the bad guy is dealt with and tie up all those sub-plots with proper due diligence without it dragging or seeming tacked on in the slightest -- in hopes that I can employ similar tactics.
