HOW DO YOU END A STORY?--LMP

Thank you, LMP, for asking this one and giving me an oppertunity to vent. But before I do, I am going to incorperate Tolkien into this thread and say that I rather enjoyed his method of interlacing between the broken Fellowship, though the Helm's Deep/Frodo and Sam switch did kinda frustrate me also...

In my head, I have a climax all made up, an ending and tying up of plot threads all laid out and ready, but it is not down on paper yet. I know how the story is going to end, I think, but I just can't really get there. The characters are giving me problems, my environment is being disagreeable, it's just not working. GAH!! It is so freaking frustrating to have an ending and not know how to end it. Does that make sense? I hope so, it is reallly late. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I also feel better now.
