The 'Ending' for my screenplay-story dawned on me over a glass of wine and, some very good, cheese on toast, in the hotel the other day!
Sometimes, solitude in a hotel bar can have it's advantages. For some reason it focuses my brain, it makes me think of the obvious instead of constantly searching for something 'surprising or clever'. Getting 'back to basics' does'nt necessarily mean 'boring'. Maybe, just maybe, the 'obvious' can be the 'surprise'.
So, now that I have an idea for my ending, what does this mean? It suggests that I know how to mold some of the characters that I have already created. The ones that have been 'living in motivational-limbo' (until I knew whether their purpose and direction is 'friend or foe') can now be reawakened.
It also means that I have sufficient momentum to carry me through every scene; I can set my character-dominoes up and have them fall precisely where I want and need them to.
Maybe it was the cheese that helped? After all, it is known for provoking 'weird dreams' - if eaten late at night - perhaps it has hidden stimuli for one's imagination.....If that's the case, I may be eating a lot more of it during this writing process.....
