Okay, it’s really “denouement.” Apologies to everyone who took more French than I did … or, for that matter, more English.
Why is wrapping up loose ends so bloody tough?
The novel is 125,000 words long now. I think by the time it’s done — by midnight tomorrow, if I have my way — it’ll be right around 130K. I’m writing what I think will be the last chapter, in which two characters have to decide whether to stay at the lunar colony or give up and go home.
Tomorrow night could be a big celebration indeed … or it could be a frustrating evening of working while everyone else celebrates, because I’m determined to get this thing done!
So I’m going back to work on it now.
