In re: happy endings. I can't do them. The best I can manage is open endings with enough optimism that the reader can take them to the happy place if they wish. My best friend calls this my "f**k your happy ending and like it" mentality. If nothing else, her assessment makes me laugh. I don't do particularly sad endings, either. It's that optimism thing again. I believe things can always get better and that there are ways out of difficult situations, even if those ways might be equally difficult. So far, the reader response has been good, but I haven't reached the point where my MS is ready to be submitted, so I don't have a final verdict.
