The End is in Sight

I am running out of steam. I don’t have a handle on how this story ends or where it is going. I am going to take a break for a few days and mull things over. Maybe make a definitive outline before I worry about writing the end. It stands at nearly 30,000 words right now and it is a bare bones draft. I have written at least 15,000 of those words in the past two weeks. it is an incredible leap forward and I finished everything that was already plotted.

Now I will finish the plot in detail, know where everyone is and what they’re doing and what the reader will see. I am excited for the end. It’s going to be action packed.

I’ve been afraid of description lately. Someone once told me to add more dialogue, but now I am ignoring description. Something in me thinks the action will not move if there is description. But the dialogue is becoming redundant because everyone is in the process of finding out information others and the reader already know.

I asked Amanda to help me with story development for the end–she is here and available and we will work in due course. I must acquaint her with the characters and the story. She was very excited when I asked her to help me.
