Hi–

First, let me tell you that if you’re here for the Valentine’s Day Gift Hop, you came to the right place! Click HERE!. Be sure to enter. There’s a Kindle Paperwhite up for grabs, and i have one and i love it!

So, I’m currently writing the ending of my work in progress. The book is called Blow Out and it’s been a challenge and a heap of surprises. I started out to write a simple little 40,oooish word short novel with a breezy theme, and it turned itself into a deeper character study at almost 65,000 words. But despite the challenges, the ending is a lovely power trip. It races along toward its inevitable conclusion. Yes, some happy accidents happen, but mostly it’s a rush.

I love writing endings. It’s an opportunity to pull out the stops, wring my heart and those of my readers with a really happy ever after. Usually, i end up crying! Classically, romances always ended with a wedding, and in a sense, i think they often still do. It doesn’t have to be an actual wedding, although in my books it often does have a legal wedding in it, but it can be a marriage of minds, of hearts, of bodies. In a sweet romance, it might be a marriage of lips with the first kiss.

What about you? What part of a book is your favorite? The beginning, when everything is still potential, when the lovers meet for the first time? The excitement of the middle, building toward the climax, when all the complexities come in and it looks like the lovers will never make it? Or the end, when love prevails? Is there a part you usually like best?

Share! And thank you so much for coming by! : )
