Description

How do we craft an ending that lands with the reader? How do we avoid what author David Jauss calls "the literary equivalent of a faked orgasm?"

On today's episode of Writer Unleashed, we'll explore 5 ways to avoid an ending that's too tidy, predictable, or lame. 

We'll talk about:

• Interesting character change over time
• Why  a change in your reader is more important than character change
• The relationship between your story's beginning and ending
• Why the strongest endings are not invented but discovered
