I’ve been cycling through the story from the beginning, once more. Usually, this is how I find my ending. So far, that hasn’t happened yet, but I’ve found something near the beginning that I find quite pleasing. I didn’t add any plot events to the beginning; rather, certain words were replaced. Well, words that used to be words in the plural were consolidated so that it’s now one word that conveys the mood better.
I would like to find additional, similar things in the beginning. I’m wondering if that’s going to help me find the ending too.
In these posts, I should be careful not to spoil the story. But there is a fine line between spoilers and intrigue. Let me try to balance myself exactly on that line.
Penelope is about to face her nemesis, and plot-wise, events like that are always what seem to be the climax. But truly, the point of this story isn’t fighting a nemesis. The story is titled “Log Me Tender” for a reason, and what I am trying to make evident within the story (without saying so) is that, amidst all the horror, there is so much tenderness.
