Endings

[ithildyn]

I almost never have trouble starting a story, but I have a heck of a time ending one. I actually finished writing 'Just Desserts' last night! But I can't get the end to sound/read right. Nothing works for me. I tried several things, but finally gave up and went to bed. I'm hoping fresh eyes today will help. So much for being able to post it this

*raises hand* I often have the ending in my head as I'm writing towards it, but there have been at least two stories that I had trouble with. I remember sending one off to beta, and it coming back with a "you really can write a better ending than that" message on it. *g*

Oh, good! Glad I'm not the only one :)

It's just those last couple lines I can't get right. I blame Duncan and Methos for being difficult [g]

Well, the current huge fic I am working on has had the ending (and most of the other parts) written for a long time. It's getting to the ending that's taking it's time as I keep getting little writer's block on a few things. But I feel your pain. Good luck though!

[ithildyn]

The getting there can be a pain!

*Grins* All the bloody time, especially with my longer fics! I find that the closer I get to the end, the longer I take with each chapter....and the final chapter? Forget it, I can spend weeks worrying over a finale!

The story is over, done. There resolution of Duncan and Methos' bet played out. But what I need is a way to end it on a light and humourous note in keeping with the theme of the prior stories. I think I have an idea, so I'll just go with it I think before I'm too grumpy to write anything light!

Always. Always, always, always.

[ithildyn]

It never shows in your writing though :)

Yeah, but if you could read my mind, love...

Although I admit that the middles really kill me.
