Just passed the major climax in the middle of Bringing Stella Home<\/em>. \u00a0In a moment that I hope is as poignant to the reader as it was to me, I…well, let’s just say I’m glad I’m not my main character.<\/p>\n

I hit the climax doing a 1,765 word sprint, with this song playing on repeat:<\/p>\n

So awesome. I just hope that when I wake up from this daze, my writing doesn’t suck.<\/p>\n

Next, gotta finish up the chapter, clean up the mess, give the denouement. After every emotionally poignant climax, I think it’s critical to have a good denouement to give those emotions their proper release and bring everything full circle, bring some proper closure. Best denouement of any story I know: the Throne Room from Star Wars IV:<\/p>\n

The denouement for my story will not be nearly so triumphant. But then again, it’s not the final climax–there’s a lot more to come, a lot more pain and suffering for my main character to endure.<\/p>\n

I’m 2\/3rds of the way through this rewrite now. I hope I’m not being too melodramatic, or that the story sucks. They say it’s not enough to be good–to make it as a writer, you have to be brilliant. Does this story have that potential? Gosh, I hope it does. As it stands, though, it sure needs a lot of work.<\/p>\n

But still–it’s been awesome writing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
