endings

I wrote a bit yesterday about how I was having some difficulty resolving the ending of my WIP. I think, after much thought, I have it figured out. Once I settled that issue, I spent the rest of the day reading the new Kim Harrison book. Talk about a tough ending. Geez. I'm still not sure it worked for me, and I wonder if she lost any sleep over the plot twist at the end. The plot device she used seemed a bit contrived. I'd be interested to hear other readers thoughts on the subject.

This week has turned into a non writing week as my volunteer obligations for the book sale are demanding more time than I anticipated. Stepping away for a bit might be a good thing as I am within spitting distance of the end. It should give me plenty of time to ponder just how I will wrap things up, how I want to edit the draft and what I do after that is completed.

I've started to toy with the dreaded, hive inducing query letter. I've never queried my fiction before, this will be a brand new adventure. I'm soaking up as much info as I can from various blogs and websites. I need to devote a day to targeting agents and doing that research.

So much more to writing than the actual writing, at least if you intend to put your 'baby' out there for consideration.
