Aw, thanks @Daeus… *munches m&ms included cookie in complete bliss*

I very well might just spam that post.

@Daeus *sniff* what ever happened to freedom of speech? It is my Constitutional right to throw away as many cookies as I please.

Good point @Hope— and I struggle with that. 😛

Okay, so here’s a good place for a question about endings. My WIP is a complete story in itself— but it sets up for the…[Read more]

Hey hey, impressive! I got 476 words edited @Daeus. You beat me! See— it’s not so very difficult after all! 😀

*Takes cookie and munches on it miserably* I’ve a cold in my head and can’t think straight. Besides, everyone here has good points and I don’t know if I’ve anything to add.

Except…let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

Don’t make an ending too quick. You don’t want it to drag out, but the reader wants to see how the characters…[Read more]

@Daeus I am… till 9:00?

Chocolate chip.

@Daeus WHAT?! No m&ms?! *throws cookie in trash can* you can have the rest of mine.

Eh, what’s that? *yawns and stares sleepily at the topic* *sees cookies and perks up*
@Daeus You have cookies? Can I… *inches closer to cookies* *snatches one and gulps it down*
Okay, all silliness aside, this is a great topic @kate-flournoy @Daeus @ingridrd. Great thoughts, everyone! Daeus, great point about the ending having to relate to…[Read more]

@Daeus I would put my stamp of approval on that entire post, but I’ve had some trouble with that in the past, so I think I’ll leave it un-stamped…
Awesome post just the same. Very good points, both you and @Ingridrd.

On the topic of theme and endings, I have found that working a story simply for the purpose of presenting a clear theme can be…[Read more]

@daeus
Wow; just wow. Forget what I said because what you’re saying makes a lot more sense! 😉 I agree that you shouldn’t have to fulfill all of the reader’s expectations, just some. That way you leave room for more creativity and an awesome story! By the way, I would totally read that story about the girl and the evil faerie dragonfly! It sounds…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy and @daeus
*runs in* *hunches over to catch breath* What did I miss? Oh, nice topic! As I have never actually written an ending for a book (short stories excluded), I have just about no experience with this topic. However, I do think it is important that you tie up any loose ends and don’t let the reader down. If the reader was…[Read more]

@Bluejay Yeah, it was a really good movie. I was tearing up in some parts, too. Ohh, you should watch Courageous and Fireproof! They’re really good and moving, as well. 🙂

@spradlin I think we need to discuss how many thumbs you have. 😛

Oh yes, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde… actually you know, I think it’s more like a novella. I don’t remember the precise length, but it definitely wasn’t a full fledged novel. I highly recommend it.

I don’t know where everybody else is @Daeus… but hey, I guess I don’t mind hogging it either. 😉 *eats cookie of her own, chokes, squints, eats second cookie and swallows with gulp, dusts fingers off on skirt*

I will be back with an intelligent post for this topic later. If the cookie monster doesn’t sue me first.

Yes @sarah-h, that’s one of the most important things about writing. Writing anything, not just something you’re not sure about. 🙂

Hey, that’s great. 😀

Well I got another 437 words written. Thanks for writing with me for that last bit @anna-brie. 🙂 902 in total. I’m very happy with that.
