At the end of your novel, all of the various conflicts (inner and outer) and plot points will come to a head and (hopefully) resolve themselves in a satisfying way.
This is our job as writers, after all, and what the reader expects when he or she takes on one of our stories.
It's important, however, that the plot stays unpredictable up until the final pages. Success doesn't come easily in the real world, and as much as we'd like to keep our characters safe, it shouldn't come easily in our fictional worlds, either.
Keep the reader guessing until the very last moment; the longer it appears your main character will fail, the more invested the reader will be.
Be Brilliant!
