Stuck


So, you've written out most of your story and then for some reason the climax seems almost moot.  What happened?  Is it that you've gone over it in your head so much that it just doesn't affect you anymore?  Does it feel like the right ending?  Or does it feel flat?  What's going on here?  How do you pull out of it?  Well, formula should be able to help!  That's right, for every story there is a formula.  Go back to your notes, read a good book and pick apart the ending.  Maybe your climax is too predictable.  Or maybe you need to end it somewhere else.  What ever the case you can always go back to those plot and structure manuals!  James Scott Bell I believe has a great book on Plot and Structure.  I believe it's called Write Great Fiction.
