The End of Strangetown, Here we Come.

I wrote the ending of Strangetown, Here We Come today.

I'm really quite pleased that I was able to figure it all out, since I've had it hanging over my head for such a long time. I finally know precisely how it's going to end, and I think the ending ties all the various plot threads together better than I ever thought I'd be able to, and it also gives one of the characters the chance to shine to his/her full potential (a character that I always intended something special for, but had never fully determined exactly what that would be). Miraculously, I think I get to make use of all of the balls that I currently have in the air, and it all goes out with a bang in one big event.

The one problem is that it's a long way off yet. Maybe so far off that I'll never get through it all as I'd like to. I really want to, but I know it's a long shot. For now, I'm going to keep on keeping on, and see if I can make it. If it begins to feel like way too much, I could always compress some parts of it to get ahead faster, and if all else fails, I'll just give you the condensed version of what happens. Either way, I know it won't just stop without a resolution. I have a resolution now.

I'm really happy. ^_^ I was determined to see this huge, crazy project through to the end, and now I feel like I'll really be able to make it happen.

I don't want give it away, but I will give away this one little hint: It is, overall, a happy ending. It's not all going to be pretty, but things will be mostly okay in the end.

The end?! Wow that feels strange to say.. I caught up awhile ago and now I'm all on track and up to date I really feel like I don't want it to end, but all good things do have to, alas :)

I mean, it's not for awhile yet - and I doubt you'll just stop writing all together... Right?

Don't worry. The end is quite a ways off just yet. I just know what it is now, which is just extra motivation for me. I mean, an ending isn't much good if you don't share it with anyone, right?

I'm planning to keep on writing after this, and maybe even something I could publish next time. I'll probably take a stab at a graphic novel (since it's a similar structure), but I've considered trying a novel too. I've actually been considering doing NaNoWriMo this year.
