#WritersCoffeeClub How do you like to end a story?
I resolve the questions I anticipate the reader to ask and expect to be answered. I want the reader to have a satisfying experience.
If it’s a series, I’ll leave some overarching questions unanswered and build on them in future books.
My endings tend to be realistic. When I develop a story, I give my characters a list of aspirations, but I never allow them to achieve them all. Reality is full of setbacks, and it’s the same for my characters.
