That makes sense to me. Hopefully that will be the way my stories end. It’s the way I’m planning to end them, anyway.

Sometimes I think that I can conjure this feat, but other times I fall short.

Isn’t Brandon’s writing amazing? He’s one of my favorite authors, and I think he’s doing a fab job finish WoT. Your description of the end of Mistborn is perfect.

Thanks for sharing this.

I’d like to think so, Faith. I also like to hear, “I KNEW that was coming but I was hoping it wasn’t.” I’m doing good if they’re a little surprised.

Great point. The ending to a story should have an element of surprise–but still make sense. It can’t be too out of nowhere.

I wish I could say I did but I’m not sure that’s realistic. LOL.

I’m probably one of the few who thought this about the ending of Mockingjay. It was really the only way things could have realistically gone down.

This totally makes sense, and it’s a great thing to keep in mind.

Hah! I hope my husband would tell me otherwise too. It’s nice to have someone who can be totally and completely honest about your work!

Gosh, I hope I do. My husband would tell me otherwise. That is a good phrase to keep in mind–surprising, yet inevitable.
