And thus time for...

THE WEEKLY WORD COUNT. /reverb

Drumroll please...

Last week's word count: 72,020
This week's word count: 77,352
Word count for the week: 5,332

*tilts head* Not bad.

I've hit my climax. I've posted two snippets. I've fallen in love with not!Harry all over again. I went back and checked to see how his sarcasm circuits fire throughout the thing, and was happy to see that I don't actually need to add any, because he's been just that awesome since the beginning.

The downside is that I've hit my climax with 8,000 words to go on the goal, and I have no idea where to go from here. My brain has sputtered to a complete stop. I need to end the current scene and jump into someone else's head, but I don't know how or who.

AUGH.

Why worry?

Is the purpose to reach a predetermined word count or to complete the story? If you can wrap the fall out in 6000 words, and you love the whole novel, why worry about a couple of thousand words? There's always the revision process if it becomes vital.

Part of my problem is that here I am 77,000 words in and I don't know how it ends. I'm not sure what the fallout actually is. I guess this is something I'll need to figure out...

I hope you can get your ending figured out soon. *hugs*

Thanks. It's driving me crazy, which ... it does.

Set your timer for ten minutes. Using pen/pencil and a sheet of paper, without thinking in a linear, conscious way, list all the possible ways the story could end. Do not put your pen down for the whole ten minutes, and keep writing, even if you can't think of anything--just write anything to keep going (for example, ending, ending, ending, I need an ending). After the timer goes off, look at what you have. I bet you find your perfect ending in there. Good luck!
