I've been dancing around the ending for a very long time. I know what will happen but I've been struggling with the choreography. Most is written except the penultimate portion for fear of being misdirected by filler for some duty to call it done. Finally it hit me, that magical something that brings all of them together. Not a MacGuffin (they drive me insane) but something sitting in front of the reader (and the writer) the whole time. I won't write it now though, not yet #writing
In defense of MacGuffins, I do have a story that is almost entirely MacGuffins, even the main character (in a sense). It has the potential to be a symphony of chaos and mind bending nonsense. MacGuffins can be ridiculously fun (for me >.> ) when not used as a cheap trick to rush creativity. I'm not writing on a schedule though... #writing
