Working to an Ending
Each time I sit down with certain events, certain things that I want to put into a book, because I’m working to a scene, to an ending that I have known since 1984/1985. I could have written the last scene of the last book in 1985, and if I had done so and set it aside, well, the wording might be different from what I would use today, but what happens would be exactly the same—I know where I’m going. But each time I sit down to write this book and I realize at some point in it, if I put everything in this book that I want to put in this book, they’re going to have to sell a shopping cart with it, or at least a carry strap and some wheels. I write books that come out in 700 pages and up in hardcover, and that is, if I were putting everything in that I thought I was going to put in, they would be 1500 or 1600 pages in hardcover. So telling the story has taken longer than I thought it would.
