I am often stumped by aspects of novel writing, not least of which is how people manage to write satisfying endings. I feel like I’ve been searching for an ending to this particular novel for years, and none of them have been quite right. Today I expanded on a brief paragraph I’d written based on the prompt “a creative space” and I think it may turn into my new ending.
Hopefully it’s the last ending I’ll write for this book, but knowing how this works, probably not. The good news it that it got me writing and thinking about my characters in new places, which is always welcome when the writing process is starting to feel a bit stale.
Side note: I’m feeling pretty accomplished with my dedication to writing this week, but I know it’s only going to get harder from here. I’m going to a wedding this weekend and staying with some friends, which I know will be a huge distraction, but I know that if I can still successfully get up and write, it will mean a lot. Fingers crossed.
