Writing Tips

Story Endings

✦

Importance of the Ending

↣ readers invested their time into your publication ; make it worth it!

↣ the conclusion turns readers into fans

↣ endings should be memorable & satisfying ; this will make the readers want to indulge in more of your work

✦

Choosing Your Ending

↣ know your genre ; different genres can get away with different endings

↣ a thriller novel ending unexpectedly or ambiguously would be more satisfying to readers than a romance novel ending that way ; and vise vera, a romance novel ending emotionally and with happily ever after would be more satisfying than a thriller ending that way

↣ make it unpredictable but fair ; readers should feel like they could have seen it coming

↣ find a happy medium between what your readers want and what is unexpected

↣ be careful with unresolved or ambiguous endings ; regardless of the ending, the readers need to feel satisfied or they won’t come back

↣ be careful with expanded endings ; most editors frown upon relying on epilogues to reach a satisfying resolution

↣ have your ending in mind from the beginning ; this isn’t always plausible, but it’s very helpful — you’ll end up having hints to the resolution you may not even realize, & readers want that

There’s one thing you can absolutely, 100 percent rely on, which is that if you show five different people the same thing, they’re all going to have a different complaint or compliment. Each is going to have a different response, and you’d better know what you’re gonna do, otherwise you’re going to get confused… [H]ow much good can come from putting any time into studying how people are responding to your movies? The best case scenario is that it makes you feel flattered for a certain period of time, which doesn’t really buy you much, in life: and inevitably, it’s not going to just be the best-case scenario, so learn to spare yourself that experience, I’d say. – Wes Anderson
