Today, my first post as a regular contributor goes up on Write It Sideways. I’m talking endings. Not sad goodbyes, but a farewell to characters. How do you end a story? It isn’t as easy as just typing the words.
Click on over: What are the Best Ways to End a Story? Then, tell us how you tackle the final scene.
“A great ending can save a saggy middle, but an ending that’s abrupt or ill-thought-out can ruin all the goodwill built painstakingly page after page by an otherwise good book.”
~ Jael McHenry, “Flip the Script: End Anywhere”
You’re a regular contributor there now, Christi? Awesome. How did I miss this news?
Yes, I’m very excited, Jan! I’ve joined up with a great group of women writers over there. I think I mentioned it on Facebook, but neglected to say anything here. Everything came together towards the end of the summer when life got crazy busy.
Excited for you! Going to visit the post now.
Thanks, Nina!
