Details, details...
Details are the funny thing.
I know how the London novel starts. And I know how the London novel ends (start and finish are both written...), but it's the stuff in the middle that I'm a little unclear on.
And as for what is tentatively called Apocalypse Watch - the start is fine, I can see how to get to the mid-point, but I have absolutely no idea how this is going to end, nor any idea of how to end it. I have visions of the characters all of a sudden just standing around and tapping their feet, looking at their watches, then buggering off to the pub until I figure out what happens to them!
I read a bit of advice recently that says you should write a CV/biography for characters, as this fleshes them out with a backstory and stimulates new ideas. Perhaps when I've finished CVs for everyone I'll have a better idea of how to end things...
