I have been sort of dreading going back to fill in the gaps, but at least with the ending written I can do it with the confidence that I know how it all turns out. :)<br /><br />And thank you for the congratulations sir!senny dreadfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060196615482952688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392050901290304059.post-28005678972512702812009-04-22T15:24:00.000+01:002009-04-22T15:24:00.000+01:00Utterly totally completely awesome.

Ok, that grammar is terrible, I apologise now, but you get the drift.<br /><br />Regarding the "technical" conclusion of the book, I had exactly the same thing with Dark Heart. A month or so ago I lost about 1200 words from a chapter halfway through the book. I ploughed on, wrote the conclusion and finished the story, then found myself having to trawl back through it and re-write the missing chapter. I'd only got halfway through it anyway, so it half a rewrite, half new material.<br /><br />This was a depressing prospect to face, but once I started, it was actually quite an enjoyable experience. That missing section expanded itself to about 3000 words, adding in a whole new angle on a subplot.<br /><br />The thing is, I really think the fact that I'd "finished" the book helped - I knew that I had made it to the end and had written my first novel, so this was just replastering a particularly large crack.<br /><br />So don't panic too much! It may seem annoying, but it'll be fine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
