Endings


Trying to write the last chapter of my current paranormal menage and it's making me ill. I assume it's stress because I can't quite get my head around how to choreograph the finale. I know how I want it to end but I don't know how to get rid of my villain - or villainess as it happens. To kill or not to kill? Well, as usual, I'll put off the decision until tomorrow in the hope that inspiration will strike and turn me into a decisive authoress or more likely, I'll spend the day editing the chapters that come before, just in time to end the day without having finished - yet again.

Kill her. No, better yet, get her pregnant, then kill her. Yeah.

It's funny, I chahged my ending six or seven times, and thank God I did. The more familiar I got with the characters, the clearer the outcome became.

I'm hoping that works for me, Fred. I did want to kill her actually but not sure I should. By the time I've bored myself silly reading this again and again, maybe I'll have a lightbulb moment.

A maniputlative Mom should get her wings clipped at least, if not a final demise. I can't wait to see the direction you pick.
