I don’t know how to end. It seems like I just go on and then it comes to a stop, the story just gone, ended, like a final breath. This is the way of life, but it’s not supposed to be for writing. The problem is that endings can be so ridiculous and easy to predict, which I blogged about last year. I have had a multitude of endings for my bad side, some of them obtuse, others pointed, all of them too introspective. I had an ending, a moment, part revelatory, part happenstance, but it came across as a blunt object struck on the reader’s head.I have tried to avoid core themes and images and end up with a moment that means more than it should. I need something in between, something clean, something that begs for more but doesn’t, like a good drink.Something like that.
The End. Fin. Fine. Yes.
I find it helps when I think about it simply being the end to the Reader’s Window I’ve created into The World I’ve imagined as opposed to the end to The World I’ve created. Good luck!
It’s the end of the reader’s window! Or maybe…
Is the blog over? I just got the subscribing part figured out.
No! Why are you spreading crazy rumors? This post is just about how to end a book. I admit it’s vague.
