Last Two Words

The last two words – I’ve posted about them before.

The End

These two words are a great thing to type. It doesn’t mean the work is done. It doesn’t mean that by a log shot but it is great to write them.

I finished the short story that I started writing on my way to visit family on boxing day. I wasn’t driving, the trip would take a few hours and my Muse kindly gave me a way to pass the time. I hadn’t hand written anything in well over a decade but the the story was there, the opportunity to write it, and so I brought along one of many notepads and started scribbling the tale.

I did a bit more work on it a couple days later, after transcribing the first third, then I put it aside for a bit as I didn’t feel my Muse’s intervention on it. She had directed me back to the the novel in progress – ‘Corrupted Souls’ – the fourth Jonathan Alvey installment.

This morning though I wanted to get more done on the piece and opened it and started pecking ut a few words. Then, as though understanding my need to get it out of the way to focus on the novel, my Muse reached her fingers into m brain and pushed.

I got so close to the end of the story but was a bit done in. I had reached the end of my writing spree. But I was SO close. I pushed on.

The end came swiftly, with that last spurt of creativity, I reached the last sentence and with pride and relief wrote those two words.
