If you’ve ever had trouble wondering how to end your novel/short story/flash, where exactly to put that full stop, hopefully this article from author Sue Burke will help you make the decision.
‘I advise knowing the ending before you start writing‘
It doesn’t sound that crazy and yes I know there are Pansters out there but even they have to stop sooner or later. And what better way to stop than knowing how far your petrol/battery will take you before you embark on the journey? Some books I’ve read have an ending so annoying you know that the author has done their job. ‘It can’t end there!’ I’ve often declared, whereas the writer probably thought, ‘That’ll keep ’em guessing.’ Are endings meant to be fulfilling? Explanatory? Mysterious? Annoying? Damn you, Stasis!
Have read of Sue’s blog and have a look at the link she’s offered, too. Might be the best thing you do today!
