my first story recently concluded and it sort of made me sappy because my life had turned to a very dark corner. That majorly dimmed my writing spark but also my creativity. Even then, I am glad it happened so. If you feel like the story ended rather abruptly you wouldn't be wrong or right to say that because everything has it's charm the way it is. For your happiness, I'd say your opinion might have pulled something greater but chasing the ideals wouldn't make me satisfied. If I wanted a certain thing to happen a certain way, I'd do it like I want to. Either way, I am glad for the readers who stayed and read the written chapters enthusiastically. Yours sincerely, Amy
