/lit/ - Literature

When I think about this story everything makes sense except the climax, which only barely makes sense. I keep saying to myself, "yes this is sufficient justification for this character to act this way, yes this is surprising but inevitable, yes it fits the themes and is actually tragic." But I sometimes think about it and it just feels...off. Like it doesn't really address the real conflict or is too difficult to believe as credible. Whatever the case is, I'm gonna find out from some beta readers and other people I'd like to consult before I publish. I don't want to second guess myself for no reason, but I have a bad feeling that the climax isn't good. I do think the ending is good at least.

>stream of consciousness about my failures with women
Damn, are you me? Except it's mostly about fried chicken, optimism about the setting, so maybe it will be pretty different after all. I wish you luck with women.
Also I already wrote 1500 words about fried chicken already, what in the hell?

Someone at my local bookstore told me I need to read this since I was looking for Southern lit. Exactly how many people read Crawdads? It's got like 2M GR ratings and most stuff I see in the genre is at most 10% of that.
