I always have trouble with endings. Sometimes it's trying to wrap up all the loose ends. Sometimes it's an issue of how to get everyone out of the impossible situation I've created. And other times it's just me not being able to escape cliche and use those perfect last words that I know are floating somewhere out there just beyond my reach.

My best advice is to just sit away from your computer with a notepad and brainstorm. I find when I'm away from the actual story and in a comfy chair, ideas come to me more easily than if I'm just crouched over the keyboard staring at the blinking cursor.


Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
