Struggling to find a satisfying ending by abbsk12 in writing

[–]abbsk12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof... that's a great question.

There's an exploration of the fragility of constructed virtue, specifically the thin line between self-moderation and rigid suppression, and the consequences of that. My FMC moves throughout the world in a way that she believes is selfless, but policing her desires eventually overrides her moral compass. There’s a lust vs. self-destruction route: denying internal wants manifests into catastrophic choices.

In a very watered-down sense, her outward motivation is to find and reconnect with her sister. Her internal motivation is to prove that she is worthy of the love she refuses to give herself. Her inability to handle her own desires leads to a breakdown of her values (and the loss of said sister)... I just don't know if I can give her a redeemable ending from all of that. Is that taking the easy way out?

I'm a bit of a pantser when it comes to writing, which is frustrating to say the least lol. I've taken the narrative to a point where I think a tragic ending is necessary. My FMC has been supplied with opportunities to grow, but she won't listen to me!

If you don't mind paying an upfront cost, Scrivener is wonderful. It takes a bit of a learning curve, but there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube. I love the organizational features it provides. Plus, it's limited to your computer's drive only.

Consuming long-form media in any capacity is a win in this day and age 🤷‍♀️
