It's all coming together. I mean, I knew how it all ended before, but now that the end is virtually here, things are occurring to me as I'm writing that are just too cool not to work in, plus they wrap everything up better than I ever expected. Hopefully, hopefully I won't have any dangling characters or storylines at the end, and if I do, my beta readers will catch it.

But I already know, the ending is going to be hard to write. I don't mean emotionally, or anything, though I'm sure that might come, too. I mean just hard to write, hard to give it the right amount of tension and drama without going overboard or being too boring, etc.

But I'm sure my characters will continue to steer me correctly, and that will help.

I'm finding myself wanting to write something just about McClairen and the wolves, now. But I don't know what I could do that would sustain an entire story - or an entire book. And the space pirates are still calling my name. I'm pretty sure they come next. (They've been very patient, really, and I don't want to piss them off by ignoring them much further. Pirates, you know.)

But I really love the wolves, a lot. They've inserted themselves into the story far more than I anticipated, actually.
