Hi Margaret, When I read this you gave me an insight into my own process that I hadn't realized before. I too have to wrap things up. It's the obsessive-compulsive in me. If I were to analyze my writing I think it's the endings of each scene/chapter that are my strongest (read: easiest to write). But here is where we drift from one another.
While I always finish my scenes, I almost always start the new scene or chapter with at least one paragraph before putting it up for the night. Since I already have the energy of a good ending, I use that momentum for an equally strong transition scene. To me it makes it easier to dive into a new scene for the next day. Once I've got my segue, all I gotta do is deliver the goods for the next scene.
I enjoyed this post. You gave me something to think about. Thanks
