Hi friends, Before I get to the newsletter, here are some upcoming events I’d love to see you at: Virtual discussion with From the Source Bookclub A collaboration between the Rockland County Pride Center and the Valley Cottage Library Open to everyone!
I'm re-writing my manuscript and have opened myself begrudgingly to the idea that my current ending may be forced, not organic to the story. After reading your post, I feel better about allowing the characters and the story to tell me the ending, whether it be similar or very different to where I took the story in the last draft.
Needed to hear this--been searching for an ending, with the suspicion it's already sort of there. Will take your good juju and advice and keep plugging!
It’s crazy how parallel my writing journey is to yours (see my newsletter tomorrow). You are right about the answers being in the words we’ve already written. Why do we get so muddled?

My daughter just asked what I’d like for my birthday and Endpapers is coming out in paperback on that day! Problem solved!!
I love this, Jen! Thanks for the reminder!
