I see my story like a movie and write it down. And I love it when the end of a book brings it full circle. I don't feel like I achieve that a lot of times. I think it's one of the reasons I really liked my book that's coming out this summer. The last couple of lines gave me that full circle closure.Liz Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07494091884629240542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15206089.post-86552299074142504412008-04-19T08:14:00.000-07:002008-04-19T08:14:00.000-07:00Hi Liz:I always have a "big picture" ending and a ...Hi Liz:<BR/>I always have a "big picture" ending and a "big picture" middle, and a very sure-footed beginning. It's all cinematic to me. But usually, when I get to that last chapter or two, I start to feel like an Olympic gymnast and want to "nail" the final landing. I want the last line to bring the book full circle. Closure. The end.<BR/>EErica Orloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16415925758466527671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15206089.post-52022535517102444882008-04-18T07:35:00.000-07:002008-04-18T07:35:00.000-07:00I could not agree more Anon.

I can understand that with other genres, but not with mystery. Although I suppose you could go back and fix a lot of stuff. I just couldn't do it though. I need to know my killer.Liz Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07494091884629240542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15206089.post-43790736951192881812008-04-17T19:36:00.000-07:002008-04-17T19:36:00.000-07:00If you're writing a mystery, you need to know the ...If you're writing a mystery, you need to know the ending before you start writing.

So I figured if I started at the end, I would see how everything goes to the end as I made my way through, backwards.<BR/><BR/>It's sure shaken some screws loose, LOL. It's actually really cool. I'll probably blog about it later this week.<BR/><BR/>The end, I think, is pretty much the same as the beginning.<BR/><BR/>I don't know. I've been on an improve-my-endings quest for half a year now.Spy Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299551957327543491noreply@blogger.com
