Last night was an important night for me as a writer.
One of my novels had gotten long (300k+) and out of control. I also had not yet thought of a satisfying ending. Last night, I finished the first step of my huge outline, going through the entire story and writing out all of the most important plot points. When I made it to the end of my incomplete synopsis, I stopped for a moment to think about what came next. Inspiration came quickly and I outlined to the end of the book.
There were 120 main plot points in the outline. It was wonderful to have it finished. And the sense of peace that came when I found out the ending after having the story in my mind and drafts for maybe two years...amazing.
Now I'm writing about how the story ends for each of the different characters.
And now I have to work on adding things to that outline...
