Is that weird? And ends ...I've never typed the end. Is that weird? <BR/>And ends are hard to actually uh... come to an end. I always stall for some reason. On every book/story I've written. <BR/><BR/>YAY! I'm so happy for you! Finish before the next meet ! You need choco for that!Tiffany Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991564840502713121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812297326740243052.post-71297001214972509452009-03-08T11:10:00.000-07:002009-03-08T11:10:00.000-07:00Wylie - I'm breaking out the confetti and chocolat...Wylie - I'm breaking out the confetti and chocolate on your behalf, anyway!

It's like I return to the starting point that it should be strong and powerful and nearly perfect. Of course, that's not how it happens, and I never suffer that compulsion with the middle 90%, but I feel that pressure.Carrie Loftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589746700484524652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812297326740243052.post-30747088545857648382009-03-08T08:18:00.000-07:002009-03-08T08:18:00.000-07:00M - that's terrific!!I have to agree both with TL ...M - that's terrific!!<BR/>I have to agree both with TL (I write in chunks then piece it together)<BR/>AND with Abby re hesitating when you get there. I'm both!!<BR/><BR/>Though i've written The End on my current wip, I've not opened the champagne because I've got a huge chunk in the middle that needs rewriting (because I changed the stuff around it) and a few scene-to-scene segues to fill in.Wylie Kinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09271148590574475682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812297326740243052.post-32675082932572407462009-03-08T07:24:00.000-07:002009-03-08T07:24:00.000-07:00Hi TL - An outline.

A little scary.<BR/><BR/>Turn the corner!

My process for one of my WIPs was somewhat similar, pieces snapping together on the outside then bits on the inside, then for me, here and there and everywhere. <BR/><BR/>Right now, I'm letting that ms simmer for a while as I look to rewriting an older ms. And for the rewrite, I'm working on an outline, LOL!Thomma Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490964079393282131noreply@blogger.com
