It's that time again...
When I write the final chapters of a long fic, planning those final moments to write toward. The fifth and fourth to last and last chapters of Moments are finished.
When I wrote Whispers, I learned that there are times to wing it (early in the fic especially), times to reenvision and revise (about chapter 48 or 50), and times to plot that final course (around the seventies or eighties). And this story has even more riding it on the first one. It has to resonate with the original ending and bring completion to not just the 100 drabbles of Moments, but also all that came before. It has to feel complete but open-ended. It has to satisfy.
I'm very happy to say that the last chapter satisfies me.
I'm also taking this moment to say that I could not have made this trek without the reviewers. Especially Moviemom44 who always understand exactly what I was trying to say—whether or not I did! I appreciate every person that has made writing this story arc so wonderful and meaninful. [and I promise Whisper is coming... soon.]
