I always get nervous around this stage of a book.
I'm about twenty or so pages from the ending, and around then is always when I start worrying about whether or not I'm going to end it right, and whether or not my readers (hello you two; you know who you are ;-)) are going to like it or think I've gone nuts, or whether *I'm* going to think I've gone nuts and not know how to fix it, and then there's of course the general 'eek'ness of knowing that even though there'll be revisions, that book will be generally 'done' and I'll never watch it unfold the same way again.
Which all culminates in...
Working Brain: "Darnit, type!"
Nervous Brain: "Can't. Really. Other things to do. Oooh, look, google-search for pictures of sexy actors!"
Working Brain: "Look at those later. We have work to-- hel-lo there...hey! Quit distracting me!"
Nervous Brain: "Me? Distracting? Nonono. Look, political essays!"
Working Brain: *stabbity*
