So, if there was any one thing that every single person I’ve had read the Work In Progress has said, it’s this:
You call this an ending?
Otherwise known as: time to find another way to end this book.
I’ve been avoiding this issue a bit as I’ve been rewriting, because I’m still not sure what would be a better ending. However, I’m almost done resolving the other issues in the book. My new ending must be found. Preferably soon rather than later.
It’s not that I don’t know where my story’s going. Or at least the general neighborhood. It’s just the details.
I’ve been looking for some inspiration online, and have found a few great links to help me out. I’ll share them with my readers, in case any of you are in the same corner as me.
