endings

Endings are hard to write. Especially when your narrator dies. It makes writing the ending a bit difficult. But I think I have figured it out.

See, I have this piece that I'm working on in my voice lessons that's a folk song. However, I haven't been able to find out if there is any specific backstory on it, so I wrote my own.

Unfortunately, the line "now she sleeps in the valley where the wildflowers nod," means that I can't just have it end all happy-peppy. Hmmm..........

I'll probably post the story up here when it's all finished and polished. For now, go Google the lyrics to "The Lass from the Low Countree" by John Jacob Niles.
