You're right -- there's generally not enough focus on endings in the literature.Marybkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013291291298167627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918368103842623770.post-50936075699414129852011-03-15T21:35:25.985-07:002011-03-15T21:35:25.985-07:00My endings have changed midway through, too.

And then changed again in another way. :D<br /><br />I'm also curious about experimenting with different methods of organization... starting with the end, outlining, etc. I think a lot of mystery writers start with the end, and my books have an element of mystery in them, so it might be a good idea to try that.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092137613275942829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918368103842623770.post-29167253473407810592011-03-15T18:22:39.190-07:002011-03-15T18:22:39.190-07:00Most of the time, I have the end in sight from the...Most of the time, I have the end in sight from the beginning. However, as the book is written the ending has been known to change. In my current wip, I didn't have the end in sight until just recently and it was beginning to freak me out. I'm about 3/4 of the way through it so it was about time--which answers your question from the previous comment in the previous post :)<br /><br />The last two chapters are basically written in my head. I wonder what would happen if I wrote the end and worked myself backwards to where I am?Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.com
