Dead End Endings?

I’ve heard people talk about how hard writing the middle of your book is. I’ve heard how difficult it is to get a good beginning to your story. But I haven’t really heard people have trouble with their endings.

Am I the only one? Surely not! Please tell me it is not so!

I am close to ending the next to last scene and then I will have completed my first novel. Yes, it is thrilling to think about, but that’s just it. I keep thinking about finishing and NOT doing it! I was almost to the end of this current scene and realized I had wrote my hero into a place that would make the ending difficult. It would drag it out and I think it has gone on long enough. So today I spent some time fixing the problem and hoping……HOPING…..it works.

I am stating my goal out loud so I will be accountable to someone…anyone. I plan on finishing this book by next Friday. One week. Yes, indeed. I really hope to finish it before then, but I tend to dream too big sometimes. So, a week it is.

I am determined to be successful! I am determined to fulfill a dream and say I did it!
