.....and they lived happily, ever after....
Too bad it isn't NEARLY as simple as that. If I could write those few words, my life would be so much easier. But I guess that's the point. That ending is an easy ending, a simple ending. What I'm looking for is something a little more exciting...
Why is it that endings are so much more difficult than beginnings, than middles, than ideas? I've been working on the ending of my almost three year project for over six months now....isn't that crazy? It so hard to tie up every string, to fix every plot, to heal everything broken within the novel....but then again, maybe sometimes its more interesting to leave some things unsaid.
Sometimes its hard to end something because you don't want to let it go. Like with people. It's so hard to let someone go, especially if their are things unsaid. Sometimes, when something ends, its hard to imagine something ever beginning again.
In books, the end is what I look forward to when reading. I want to know what happens to my favorite character, I want to know if the good guys prevail and the villains fail...but when writing, its a different story...(ha ha, no pun intended)
While I struggle and toil behind my desk, working on the perfect ending to my little trilogy, I hope I can accomplish everything and leave just enough unsaid to make anyone who reads it angry with me....because that's always fun :)
.....and I didn't look back. Because this was my home now, because this was where I belonged....
