I’m being overly (dad) clever here. It’s 4:04 and I’m trying to figure out the ending to this new novel. I paused to blog and here we are. The fact remains that I don’t end stories well. My last SR novel was a bit of a mess in the end. The story builds well and hits the right beats IMHO, but it fails at the ending to resolve the conflict legitimately. Here we are in another situation where I cannot see, from a character perspective, the right way to proceed. Of course, that is the entire conundrum of the dystopian samurai story isn’t it? There is no real right way. Someone always looses or breaks a vow or breaks a confidence, and that is what makes the loss so dramatic and meaningful in the end. So, I am on the right path, but I don’t know what is going to happen. I gotta figure that part out next.
Some Thoughts:
- Enjoying the drama of the draft. Makes me want to play a deeper and more intricate Madden franchise. I wish at times I was more involved in the video game world, so I could help develop the kind of games I love to play.
