The story feels done but there are lots of loose ends, do I:
1) End here.
2) Keep going a little bit to wrap up some of those loose ends.
3) Don't stop until everything is wrapped up neatly.
@JessMahler i feel like if the story feels done you should trust that instinct, but also i tend to favor a longer denouement than most modern fiction gets so
@JessMahler yeah particularly with traditional heroes journey type stories where the main characters leave / normality is disrupted and then it concludes with their return / the restoration of normality it’s nice to be able to revel in the normal they were working towards the whole book, you know? even if doing so doesn’t actually tie any more plot threads than dropping a “the end” the second they get back would
@Satsuma
I can understand that. Sometimes a longer ending can be very satisfying.
