I read in a writing thread somewhere else (maybe the "are you writing serious fantasy" thread) a suggestion not to be enslaved to cronology-- if you are seeing hte end of the story, write it; if you jump all over the place, write it, and fit the details together later.

That helped me quite a bit. Of course, now I have a huge hole in my story. But I've got a beginning and almost an end... anyway, just a thought.
