All Good Things...

A novel has to end. I can't believe how hard it is tying up all the lose ends and creating an ending that brings satisfaction to all the threads in the story. I've had a wonderful time writing this book and its also difficult to let it go. There's always more to say, more to add, but I have to end it.

The plan is to read the whole thing aloud this week and make some small changes to the dialogue so it will be natural and flowing. I have stopped making changes and adds into the plot. The literature on good writing states that an ending should resonance, like the last perfect tone of a symphony. I actually think I've got that but I have to get there, tie it all together and bring it to a close.
