THE DREADED MIDDLE was def the hardest! carradee, thanks for commenting. i’m always fascinated by each writer’s individual process. i think part of difficulty this time is also i’m a bit reluctant to leave these characters and this world.

I'm not sure if I'd call either one the hardest for me. Endings often come to me, fully formed, while I'm somewhere in the middle of my work, and I have a slew of beginnings on my computer. I often even have the beginning and end, and chunks missing from the middle. I think I have trouble forming comprehensible climaxes. I can take anything and complicate it.

Of course as a writer you put a lot of efforts into attracting the reader with the first lines, but it's also very important not to disappoint the reader with the end of the story. You got to surprise the readers so that they would want to read your book again and again :) Good luck with your sequel :) For me the ending of the book is as much important as the beginning.

I swear I stared at my laptop trying to write the perfect ending paragraph for at least two hours. And then rewrote it later ;). The ending is what either causes the reader to put the book down and sigh in satisfaction, or toss it onto the pile and say "That was okay, I guess." No pressure! Congrats on the book club visit! That sounds like it was a great success :D. I totally agree about the ending being harder than the beginning.
