Like many, I find I can come up with cool setting ideas and various characters, but one thing I struggle with is figuring out how to wrap everything up.

What’s your process of nicely crafting the middle of your narrative and flowing it naturally into a satisfying ending?

    Would you mind giving some examples of some cases where you thought of an ending and worked backwards to reach that conclusion? I’m quite interested.

      Will do, I need to search for a good example. For a while I had been writing a serialized story and most of those “chapters” were written with that method. It may take me a bit but I’ll pull something together (if I can log onto Beehaw on a browser it will go quicker, on mobile now)

      Edit: So reading back with what I did, it is kind of a small outline for the chapter vs a full on nothing but the ending. My main goal in this was to make the last word of the chapter be the chapter title. Not sure if this is the best example and it varies from what I initially said due to my poor memory of it, but I do tend to take into account how it will potentially end well before I start writing. Hope this helps!
