Hi folks, and welcome to the 10th writing club update. That’s right, it’s the big “One-Oh” - we’re in the double digits now.
I hope you are all safe and as well as can be, and able to find some time for creativity/writing. The weather here has been a hodgepodge of warm to surprisingly brisk; although seems to be angling towards warmer now. It will be nice to see the pollinators waking up and doing their rounds soon. Life doing its thing and all that.
Onward to our writers! By my count we’ve got:
Here is a link to last month’s post if you’d like to refresh your memory, or just take a little trip down memory late.
It’s mostly because I’m a pretty extreme discovery writer. (Not that I recommend it, but it’s how I best keep myself going.) Hence I kind of tried to write a more definite ending and failed, twice, which is why there is now a third book. This time I’m forcing myself to do at least the minimum of essential planning about the overall theme and message to actually wrap it up in a manner that will hopefully be satisfying and meaningful.
Volunteering for some brainstorming if you need to get the ending right! I’ve done it many times for people in our (Italian) writing group 😁
That makes alot of sense. I also kind of discover endings as I go. Best of luck discovering the right ending, i know how hard it can be :)
I have found I just have too many arcs to wrap up and too many thematic things to add in to purely “discover” it to make a satisfying ending to a series. At least so far I haven’t managed to.
Makes sense, I’ve found with bigger and more complex stories writing out a condensed outline of what I’ve already written can help click things into place. It helps me see the structure more since I tend to get lost in the details. Again best of luck, endings are so important and so challenging!
