Writing the End – Part 1 — Story Empire
Endings are critical. As Diana says in the wonderful post above: “In some ways, the whole book is about its ending.” So…it’s pretty important to get it right.
I hope you enjoy Diana’s post today as you learn how to create better endings – and make sure to be on the lookout for her next posts on the same topic! I know I will be!
Happy writing!
