It's always so exciting to begin a new story. And then my next favorite part is writing the ending. I love tying up all the threads of the story and I love giving my hero and heroine their happily ever after. Very satisfying.

It's that perfect touch of icing on a delicious cake foundation that makes you want to devour the whole thing...er, story!Valleyhttp://www.valleybrown.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-28462363239468582262017-04-24T16:30:07.168-04:002017-04-24T16:30:07.168-04:00Thanks, Nan!Thanks, Nan!Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-66580787755013195132017-04-24T12:31:25.580-04:002017-04-24T12:31:25.580-04:00I love the story about the man and his Alzheimer&#...I love the story about the man and his Alzheimer's patient wife...that's beautiful. As a writer, I love writing dialogue--conversations are always in my head. I collect them the way other people collect stamps or glassware. I'm an unabashed eavesdropper and have been known to whip out my phone in airports to make notes on something I've heard.

I think the endings, though, are my favorites...because everyone is happy, and as the song goes, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
