Where’s the Writing/
For writers they may wonder why I talk little about my writing and more about my subject. Anybody out there have knowledge on what endings should do beside put closure on all questions raised and make sure it’s a happy ending. Hmmm, nothing’s changed since Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood. But Shakespeare? He examined human passions as they really are - some days are good, some are bad, and many times the ending is unsatisfactory to everyone involved.
In Beyond Time I am conflicted about a happy ending because I’m not sure it’s honest. However, as I wind down - before serious rewrite hell - I am working mostly in a sort of subconscious state which is always honest. Working from there one accesses one’s higher self, and has a little guidance from some big guns. “Make your endings satisfactory to the reader I am urged. But life doesn’t work that way. But the other voice says, but the reader stuck with you till the end, you can’t disappoint. Well I believe there’s wisdom to be learned in disappointment and failure. That’s real life. Perhaps thought that’s why we read fiction.
