Fun. :))<BR/><BR/>Anyway, you articulated many of my thoughts about endings. They pretty much freak me out. So much rides on the ending.

I tried very hard to say different things. I liked what you had to say very much :-)<BR/><BR/>Hilary, I'm gonna touch on that in the next post. The WIP I'm almost done with is potentially first in a trilogy, so I've been thinking about how to satisfy and leave room at the same time.Adam Heinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225813532455467868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-30742668298443882452009-04-07T12:31:00.000+07:002009-04-07T12:31:00.000+07:00Today is typo day - it should read EVERY tiny litt...Today is typo day - it should read EVERY tiny little thing... forgive the gratuitous use of adjectives too.Hilabeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503151421758981943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-86201683080337017882009-04-07T11:33:00.000+07:002009-04-07T11:33:00.000+07:00I agree - great post!

In <I>Plot & Structure</I> by James Bell, he puts it very simply - there are 3 main ways you can end a book (dependent upon genre, of course): Happily, Ambiguously, and Negatively. With any of those, whatever you choose, it has to be BIG! <BR/><BR/>In my latest novel, <I>Autumn Leaves</I>, I went for big, but left some room for the next book. It is a series, after all. Also, I enjoy a little room to wonder. I hate it when I finish a book and very tiny little thing gets tied up so much, there is nothing left to imagine.<BR/><BR/>Just my ramblingsā¦ thanks for listening? ;)<BR/><BR/>hhsHilabeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503151421758981943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-12514590678804471592009-04-07T11:22:00.000+07:002009-04-07T11:22:00.000+07:00Great post, Adam!

I constantly feel the pressure to be clever, but the twist must be necessary or it's just annoying.Natalie Whipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978251567306345129noreply@blogger.com
