There I was, trundling along, writing the final chapter in my WIP... Lovers fall out of love and in again, yawn... It was beginning to bore even me. But, suddenly!!! A light bulb popped in my head and I realised (yes, Google spellcheck-with an s) that I just had to have some drama! SO... I pushed the heroine under a car and now she is in hospital and can't remember who she is or ANYTHING... Which will set the scene for lots of complications and twists... THEN... I had an idea for me next novel... Which was totally unexpected but very, very nice... P.S... Yes, they let us use computers here in the asylum... But only if we behave.  |

Adding drama is usually the right ingredient. I'm in a similar dilemma right now. I'm writing the last chapter of my Weird Western, which has been packed with gritty action and drama. At first I thought having a "quiet" scene would be a nice denouement, but the more I think about it, I believe I need to rev up the action again. Something punchy that draws the plot into the next book in the series. |

I describe it as "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir goes West." Lots of gritty Western action and romance and such. Should finish the first draft in the next couple weeks. I have three planned sequels, so no rest for the wicked! |

"The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" Best show EVER. My wife and I have an ongoing dispute as to which is better, the movie or the series. She had a thing for Edward Mulhare, but Gene Tierney did something to my fevered pre-adolescent brain. We both agree that Charles Nelson Rielly was a hoot. |

It's erotic in a voyeur kind of way. The haunted beauty whose house in inhabited by a ghost. She never knows for sure if he's watching her shower. Or at least, that's where MY mind went. |

I love it when this happens while I'm writing. I had a moment like this with my second book. I was in the middle of NaNo, and my characters were being boring and doing nothing but shopping, and I was at a loss, so I decided to have my heroine's father knock on the door. Which may have been boring, except my heroine had thought her father was dead. (So had I until that moment.) Best decision I'd ever made, made the story far more interesting.
But... Did I hear you correctly Suzy - did you have the car crash in the last chapter?

Lots of stuff happen after that and spills into the last chapter, until it calms down to a good and peaceful ending. |

Nice. I bet that spiced up the ending!
Hmm, maybe I need something to spice up my last chapter.
Great, now that is going to keep me up all night.
