I think I will be in that middle-of-the-book phase forEVER. (Sigh.)
For my multi-book work (which, come to think, is pretty much all of it), I have a beginning, middle, and end section for each book. Beginnings are hard to get right, but easier in other ways, because there's still that joy of discovery when narrative incident mugs the plot you thought you had going.
So, although it's part of one long story, it's not all middle-of-the-book. I think.
