So I've been working on my WiP. (That's kind of the point, right?) I'm at 59K so I still have a fair amount of the story to flesh out. I've been working on all the plot holes trying to unconvolute (that's totally a word...) my ending. I made another story board with all my scenes and the questions I had about the story. Then I put all the questions in the scenes where I think those questions need to be answered. I also rewrote all my plot points and realized I needed to revamp plot point 2. So I think I've figured out most of the plot holes and how to fix them but it's just going to be taking the time to actually fix them since I have to rearrange other parts of the novel. Buckling down is always the hard part.
But I want to fix the ending by Nov 3rd, my last meeting with my writer's group before we start a new group. I'm giving the last half of the WiP to my CP so that she can point out all the holes that I missed and she's giving me back the first half. So I'm pretty excited about that though I know it just means more work. But the good kind of work. Knowing that once I fix the holes, it will be a much better story. Then I just have to work on the characters... hooray!
Sounds like you've got a great plan!
