I'm at the point in revising (for the third time) this short story. It's come to just over 31 double spaced pages. By changing the very end of the old revision I now have room to create a brand new, fresh ending that puts the journey at a hopefully proper end. Pretty sweet, right? Well I'm thinking of how long that ending should be, what should be said by the characters, how much plot to wrap up, how to best wrap that plot up, and not stray too far. I'm imagining around three pages of narrative and dialogue. In my mind I want to end it, like at the very end, with some internal dialogue, but...ehh...I'd rather try narration.
Thoughts? This is a story that first came to mind in the spring of 2017, in a writing class for my recently finished Bachelors degree (finished December 6th...just a few weeks ago). Became my own project I felt I could add more to. Its come quite a ways since I first envisioned it; it'll be bittersweet to end this draft and see how much more editing it needs before seeing to submit it for publication.
