BUt in the third book in a trilogy or a stand alone, I like for things to be wrapped up. Saying that, I feel like I need to add that while I like things to be wrapped up I also enjoy having a little bit left to my interpretation. If that makes any sense? <br /><br />PS> I love your blog layout!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12096764010151024050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-58271909035677344772010-06-08T15:40:37.450-07:002010-06-08T15:40:37.450-07:00Great topic!

It's great to see how other tie up those pesky loose ends, mainly because I tend to freak out whenever I spot one in my manuscript. <br /><br />Old Kitty: I would PAY to hear Like A Virgin on the ukulele, too!! How bizarre would that be?<br /><br />Angel-Star: Thanks so much!!! You are too sweet, and I'm sending you good vibes right back!<br /><br />Vatche: Why ON EARTH would you think my name is cool???? I think it sounds like a Hispanic soap opera villain or something. Thanks for stopping by, though! Appreciate the support!<br /><br />Sarah: Don't fret--it's not Iron Man 2, although that movie left me brain dead. Summer films tend to be worse than the ones put out through the year, don't they?

Because I think it might have been Iron Man II. That movie was ridics bad, IMHO.<br /><br />I have to write timelines for myself to keep track of who is doing what and where, just so I know. Still a work in progress is getting the tied ends gracefully into scenes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629343835090101890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-36138215361349668942010-06-07T00:26:21.581-07:002010-06-07T00:26:21.581-07:00Hey, Amparo (cool name btw), thanks for following ...Hey, Amparo (cool name btw), thanks for following my blog, I appreciate it! As for this post, I hate loose ends! Ok, no exclamation mark is needed because somethings are just unanswerable...but at least majority of the conflict must be settled. As for writing loose ends, I always tie them up at the end, someway or somehow.
