The the plot point by plot point outline was a huge help. HUGE! I got to where I'm at and then started writing down ideas. Basically just brainstormed. Then I envisioned it in my head and had almost all of it, just not how to put it together. Then I went out for coffee with my good friend Kari (See links session to check out her fab blog) and we hashed it out! YES! Then I came home and played with our ideas and bullet pointed the rest of it out! I have to do a little tweaking to the first eight chapters, but nothing major.
So now all I have to do is finish it!!

Way to go! Sometimes all you need is another viewpoint to help you figure out the problem.

LOL! Oh the pressure -- now I have to (a) go post something "fab" to my blog; and (b) work on my own d*mn plotting.
I'm glad it helped, and am SO proud of you, for sticking with this, hashing it out, AND taking care of your health on top of it all. (Is that what the Kaiser pamphlet says I'm supposed to say? ;))
Keep it up!!
