Sat down and finished the rough draft of another short story, so far titled The Tomb of the Togosa Kings. Currently it is a bit over 9000 words in length.
I’m not releasing it for viewing yet – I want to give it a bit more polishing first, especially the ending. I haven’t quite managed to get the hang of doing proper endings yet I don’t think. None of the short stories I’ve done so far I’m totally happy with how they end.
This one isn’t your standard fantasy, being of the later time period of the world that I have alluded to before. It also introduces a number of characters from Winter Wolves – Harry Ban, Elraes, Professor Hjalir and other – when they were younger.
Hopefully the polishing won’t take a long time to do and I can put it on the website for people to read.
Endings are hard. Regardless of whether it’s for a short story or a novel, they take a little more thought and work than everything else because it’s the last bit of the story that will be read. The more you write though the better they’ll get 🙂
Given my singular lack of ability to complete stories, it is little wonder I have problems with endings, not having much practice at them 😉
