Almost there…a pep talk

May 8th, 2008 by Kristin Sample

I finished my last “Ben” chapter yesterday. Of course, it needs revision but I think it’s pretty good. I’m trying so hard not to get hung up on these last chapters. It’s not like the first time has to be right. I think I’m psyching myself out to certain degree.

I just want the pay-off to be there. My novel is straight-up drama (it will make a fabulous TV show one day). So I need to give my readers a great resolution for all this conflict I’ve created along the way. I want the story to end, not just stop. I would hate for someone to get to end and say, “Really? So that’s what happened?”

But I also have to let go of this pressure. I’ve never felt any writer’s block or pressure before so why start now.

    That’s an old picture. It was very dark for awhile. It’s still the way you know it now.

    Thanks for the compliment though, V! (C.K. hated that color.)
