Loved all of this. "New Year’s puts a frame around a period of time and invites us to make meaning out of it. It’s artificial, but most endings are." Also, CONGRATS on finishing your draft and landing on an ending. I can't wait to read it!

Hey Julia, I really enjoyed this read and the reference to the Sopranos. Was also excited to hear that you wrote the ending to your novel, what a feat! I'm still working on my own and remember your group fondly.

This was really thought provoking and a great read. I like the idea of story endings being revelatory of the person’s internal nature, especially the protagonist. Then we know what motivated the person’s behavior. Lot of times, the person has the same needs as many of us

I am glad you liked it! Yes, the endings is where we often find ourselves, even if the story isn't about us.
