Pause for Thought

I’m pausing in my writing to take stock of where I am. Where I am is inside the 2 chapters-to-the-end mark. The chapter I’m working on is the climactic one, and the next the denouement/book-closing cliffhanger. I’m satisfied with the story, although I think I’ve got a heck of a rewrite ahead of me.

The funny thing to me is that I don’t remember what I write, so revising from start to finish becomes an exercise in surprise. I’m excited about things, so I’m taking off again.

But, first, do you remember most of what your write? and how do you feel about cliffhanger endings in books?
