My, what a tittilating thread title!

Do you really want to finish the story? Usually there's a deeper reason for finding such blocks that may or not have anything to do with the story or art. At least that is my experience and the experience of many I've coached. So, I usually suggest you ask yourself why you're blocked. It's usually the teller, not the story that's blocked. So find the origin of the block and fix that.

I write epic fantasy with slipstream characteristics. I have too many climaxes to get stuck on one. I've gotten stuck before in many places, but all were on the way to the climax. Since I learned to write without blocks, I rarely get stuck once I've begun. But my guess is that there's something sticking in your subconscious that is keeping you from writing through. Could be something with the characters or plot that seems off to your subconscious. Have you tried re-reading your story from various perspectives?

Combat is easy for me. It's the conflict either side of it that sometimes seems a bit weak . . . If I'm not into the scene while I'm drafting, I just insert a place holder, i.e. [Jared kicks the stuffing out of the vistadolopus with a few minor complications and the consequences, etc.

Maybe you're trying to push the story into an ending that doesn't fit as well as you thought it would. Try brainstorming alternative paths.You may end up with something better than what you originally planned.
