Why are endings so hard to write? My tip for writing an epilogue.

🙅‍♀️ 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁. I know, right! Sounds weird. (Is this controversial? Do you already do this? Let me know 👇🏻) 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗠𝗘 𝗢𝗨𝗧: Have you ever heard a writer say 'you can never really know how a book should start until you've written the end'? In a similar way, I think 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁, 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 - in other words, it's been through some editing. What if it uses a plot point that doesn't end up in your finished book? Or you call back to a scene that got taken out? (Maybe this is a pantser problem...) That's why I don't write epilogues as part of a first draft anymore.

TROPES: workplace romance | dual POV | open door spice | set in Sydney | she falls first, he falls harder | fling to forever

Two people who've been burned by past lovers settle for a conference fling while secretly wanting more. Jules lives in her comfort zone. Years ago, taking a risk left her dumped and heartbroken, and now the status quo is her safe space. It's not so bad. She lives with two awesome friends, has a manageable crush on Cameron, a colleague she's never met in person, and her job ... well, she used to love her IT job at a publishing company. Now it feels like ticking a box. So when she's asked at the last minute to attend a conference, she figures it could be the thing she needs to reinspire her. And then she finds out Cameron is coming too. Cameron left his last workplace abruptly after a break-up gone wrong. In a new city and a new team, he's content to keep everyone at arm's length so there's no chance of the past repeating. Except for one person in the IT department who always answers his calls for help, and shares his humour and taste in music. But they've never met face-to-face, so it doesn't count. Until they get sent to a conference together and suddenly, Cameron realises it does count. A lot. Thrown together away from the office and their colleagues, Jules and Cameron decide to have a conference fling. It's risk-free and has a guaranteed amicable ending. But emotions are never predictable ...

My romance short story is out in the world in the @RWAus Sweet Treats anthology. Meet Tanya, a journalist on a deadline, and Matt, the chocolatier she's interviewing.

See below for a sneak peek...

Operation Chocolate Drop

The front door is wide open. I grasp my satchel strap, double-checking the number on the door.

“Hello?” I call.

No reply.

I edge inside, my heels loud on the tiled floor, and am hit with an overpowering scent of chocolate. I wrinkle my nose, feeling like I’ve stepped into Willy Wonka’s factory.

There’s no sign of the owner, so I walk through the entryway and emerge in a kitchen-living-dining-entertainment room. The space feels cramped. Every surface – from the kitchen island to the coffee table – is covered in trays holding tiny chocolates. The total number must be astronomical if they’ve spilled into here from the chocolate making facility next door. I’ll have to find out the exact figure for my article.

I pull my notebook from my bag and write the question down. This is my first lifestyle article for the Blue Valley Daily, something I’ve been working towards for two years. I wish I had more time to prepare but I’m not going to waste this last-minute opportunity to prove myself.

“Hello? Matthew?” I call again.

“Coming!”

The holler sounds from down the hall. I turn, freezing when a man emerges from one of the doors dragging a t-shirt over a well-defined chest smattered with blond hair.

I snap my jaw shut as heat spreads over my cheeks.

That never happened at any of my interviews for the real estate section. It hasn’t happened in a while for me, period. Being alone in a house with an attractive man, that is. Not since I dumped Colin.

But now isn’t the time to be thinking about that as the man walks over and holds out a hand. I shake it, getting lost in his warm brown eyes.
