    End of Book

    I always envisaged my ending first for some reason, but because I came up with some many characters in the ending I had to write them into the story as main characters, so I just ended up making the entire novel into a four part series. I'm really excited though at the minute because I am...

    Which ending do you prefer, and why?

    The reason she falls to her death is because ... like jesus, sacrificing himself for our sins.. she is doing something relative to the story... however, the conflict is that the male lead is the one that needs to sacrifice himself in this way. Either way the female lead will fall to her 'death'...

    Which ending do you prefer, and why?

    Well my book is named after the male lead. However most of the story involves his interaction with the female lead. I see where you are coming from.

But i dont want to post anything about the story because I have had some issues with plagiarism. << thanks for...
