I think if what's in your head says 'kill her', then you should follow your gut instinct.k m kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201119068196061672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187113478167673948.post-72277922483347525842009-10-20T10:17:31.480-06:002009-10-20T10:17:31.480-06:00cool idea!

I...I think it depends on what you're going for. In the end, it's all about what you want your reader to feel. If you want an evocative, emotional, "make-you-think-and-appreciate-life" ending, go for the death. If you want a contented sigh, a happily-ever-after, or a pleasant, cozy read--go with the lack of death. It really depends on your audience. <br />The Notebook is a great deal different from You've Got Mail. Both are good but you've got major different audiences. Either is great. The fun is that you get to choose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187113478167673948.post-4483919333694772932009-10-17T12:59:20.978-06:002009-10-17T12:59:20.978-06:00Wow.

If her death has a purpose to the story and moves the reader, as well as helping Jake to grow, I think your readers can handle it. It would just be adult realistic fiction I think. Go for it, especially if that is your gut feeling.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05184772057308479564noreply@blogger.com
