I'm haunted by the draft of a novel I wrote well before the pandemic that I KNOW needs a rewrite (or entirely new draft) but that thing about knowing "it is going to end, and is, therefore" needing to be shaped is part of what haunts me. It's based on a novella I had published in 2005 (a sequel in a way) that I think might have more import to me now than it did when I drafted that sequel in 2015 (or so). Anyway: constraints. I get that, and it's true but it can also stymie writing going forward. Any advice on that?
