I’ve reached the part of the novel (ie: almost the end!) where I have to make sure that the ending actually makes sense. We’re on the precipice of the final Big Bad battle, but for the “sudden but inevitable” to work, I have to go back and seed the necessary information in earlier chapters.
I’m never really sure if I should do that now as I’m writing the finale, or after I finish the finale… and so I do a bit of both. Because why do anything the easy way?
Either way, I very much expect that this draft will be done by the weekend. Which is nice. As much fun as this story has been, I’m ready to move on to the next one!
I’m always ready to move on to the next one! That’s one of the true joys of being a writer… there’s always another story to tell!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
