What is your final sentence, as of the time you submit tonight? Or the final sentence of your story?
Mine, because I wrote the last scene before the second-last, so I'm still going but have a final sentence anyway, is:
"I will go down to see, and finish this entry another day." Not so thrilling. Dazzle me with yours!

"But for now, she was happy."
Doesn't really mean much without context. If I ever do go on to write other entries in the Christ PI series though, it'll be kind of hinting at something that will happen in the sequel.

I've not finished my story - I've not even hit my climax yet - but I have written the epilogue. So I have a final sentence.
Aww. I wrapped up the romantic subplot.

"Claire gripped his shoulder tenderly." - makes my novel seem a lot more romantic than the Shakespearean tragedy-like death most of the main characters saw near the end.
And then I followed that with a stunning: "The End"

umm... I don't think the last sentence of my epilogue would be kosher to post here... *laughs*
The final sentence of my novel proper, pre-epilogue (which is where I passed 50K, in any case):
...
“Yeah,” Jenna finally said, awkwardly biting into her toast, “I wonder who it was?”

My final, potentially spoilering line is: "It was nice to dream again.”
But then I had to write an epilogue to bump my word count, and the last line of that was: "Cassie closed her eyes as she took another sip from her coffee, trying to understand exactly what it was that had just happened." (spot the word padding!)

Ryan, don't tell you did the "It was all just a dream" ending!!
My last sentence has to do with coffee too: "I drank coffee in the dark, and I spoke to You."

"Brett had no idea why she started crying but decided it was a good idea to hug her anyway."
I am so looking forward to next year and finding out where chat is located. There was only so much I could find year 1.
Cheers everyone!

I did not! But dreams - their meaning, their presence, and their absence - played an important thematic element in my novel. (Well, it's debatable whether or not "thematic elements" is a term that can be applied to my book, but that was my intent, at least)
