Check In: Day 12, Tuesday

How's the writing progressing? I hope it's going really well for all of you. It's still quite early in the day for me, so it's too soon to say how well I'm going to do. The next step after I post this is to open up the document I was working on Friday.

Did you:

Write?
Edit?
Send to beta?
Post?
Think about your story?
Do something else?
Take a rest?

Today's discussion question: How do you know when a story's finished? I often find myself wandering when I'm near the end of a story. I can't quite find the right words or event to tie everything up. Sometimes, I just stop and pretend that that's the proper end. Sometimes, I keep writing, hoping that I can fix the problem in editing. For my long WIP, I've actually drafted the final chapter (I expect it will change a lot) so that I know what I'm aiming for. Endings are difficult for me.

I came up with a few details for my scifibigbang and wrote a little for a possible pinch hit. It's more than I have managed in a while so I'm quite pleased.
