More Blood Moon

Cooper is closing in on the bad guys now. So the end is near and I am once again realizing how difficult it is to write an ending. I try to dream about it to get some ideas. Usually that doesn't work--but it's fun trying. 

I would love to hear from you, if you are a writer. How do you come to your ending? Is it there in your mind all along. Or do you let your instincts take you there. 

When I try to formulate the ending too early, it takes some of the excitement of writing out of the process. I want to be as surprised by the ending as the reader. Do you agree? Let me know.
