I grow to like my secondary characters a lot. In the big scenes at the end, I need to make sure that the main character is active and involved, not just watching other characters take the decisive actions and clean up all the threads. Sometimes that takes a lot of rewriting. 2/2

A brown short boy with thin black hair in a wolf cut. Bushy eyebrows and a barely noticeable moustache. He has a black t-shirt with a picture of Maradona and Colin Farrell kissing and a blue overall. His left arm is covered in a movie reel tattoo, his right one has three stars. He's holding a passion fruit in his palm with one hand and posing with two fingers lifted in the other. Behind him is the pansexual flag

#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 19: What’s your biggest challenge when crafting a satisfying ending?

Finding that sweet spot between "totally saw that coming" and "well, that came out of nowhere". You can't please every reader everywhere, but you can try to make it work for most.

Tidying up all the loose ends that need to be dealt with in that particular book and actually coming up with something that feels like an ending.

I think it's shifting a bit away from how i used to make endings, making them somewhat open and obviously leading to a sequel.

Four panel comic about a writer at her laptop with an angel on my shoulder and a devil on the other: “ I’m having a good writing day.”Angel says @Good for you.” Devil says “So what. Sure, it’s going well now, but you know that’s just the fluke, that you can’t write, that your novel sucks…” And the conversation goes downhill from there. The writer screams STOP! I know that things may change tomorrow but right now… I’m having a good writing day.” Angel applauds the writer, and the devil drops out of the comic panel.
