Last scene, at last

Oct 22, 2005

This is the last scene. Not the last chapter, but the last scene. The last scene could take me another hundred pages, but I sure as hell hope not. It’s so complex, or I’m so tired that I’ve resorted to 3 X 5 note cards. So I can write down everything that needs to happen before the end of the book, but since I’m unsure of the order of events, the cards give me more flexibility to shuffle than writing long hand in the notebook. Or so it feels. I’ll probably take the cards tomorrow and scatter them across a clean piece of floor, and play with the order of events. And yes, to the question that someone asked me at the Wolf Howl we had on Wednesday night, the book is still kicking my butt.
