Endings are important to me but more so for the reason that I haven't meaningfully finished something that I've started. I've hopped around, going from fad to fad, burning out in the process. That's why it's so important for me to finish my WIP.
I actually know what's going to happen; I think about it everyday and wonder how I'll twist the story to get to this end. For me, the greatest achievement will be finishing a story and telling myself that it's the end.
Thank you! This was me too, KJ, and reaching that first ending was a huge milestone. Each one since has become a little easier and is teaching me life skills as well. Is our difficulty because we were never really taught how to say goodbye? How to walk away with mindful presence rather than out of anger or fear or anxiety or whatever drives us in that moment?
