I've finished the first draft of the book and have sent it to Tom. It's now a matter of waiting for his comments. This HAS to be the worst part of the process - I think what I've done is the best I could have made the book.
The only thing I couldn't decide on was whether to put a "where are they now?" bit at the end, describing what became of the main characters. On one hand, there was the temptation to leave them all innocently looking forward to a bright future and keep the whole story in 1969/1970. On the other hand, would readers prefer to have all the loose ends tied up? I'll be interested to see what Tom thinks...

Hi
Maybe I'm influenced by the likes of the ending of National Lampoon's Animal House, but I think a "Where are they now" tie-up at the end can really work. It gives a real sense of added distance to the events gone by, and allows some room for depth or poignancy too if some of the characters haven't had a great time of it.
(Not that any of these were on show in Animal House, I accept).
