I realize that my PR skills suck eggs. ;) And you ARE right, and I actually know that the ending isn't going to be bad. I just doubt if it'll live up to my expectations. On the other hand, one only gets better by doing it, right? I think my ability to write endings is one of my weakest skills as a writer because, well, it doesn't happen very often! Not much opportunity to practice. I must look at this as a time to learn ...
