I Think Its Thursday
I'm trying to figure out to close a couple of projects now. I've been confronted with a good problem, that I think I've touched on in the past, but its finally starting to become more of an issue now. I want to finish these with a good ending, and not just end something that ends the story. I'm learning more about plot devices and how to put things into stories that I can use later. I'm really worried about sounding repetitive, or contradictory too. I think that's one of the tougher things I deal with, making sure I didn't contradict myself or something 10 pages into a story, that I said on page 1 or 2. Anyhoo, that's the current battle, but at this point I guess I'll take that over where I was a few months ago. So that's where I'm at. I'm trying to crank this stuff out, but I forgot it long it takes to finish writing first drafts. Oops.

It can take quite a while to write a first draft, but it's all downhill from there. As in, you move a lot faster after that. I've learned that endings are tricky. I originally thought I knew how something was going to end, but then another idea I had for an ending was a lot more organic, and fit the story better. Or would have just made for a better ending.
