Week Seven
As the year comes to an end, we’re looking at how to end stories this week. I meet so many writers who can’t figure out how to get to the end of what they’re writing so it’s worth taking time to practice.
As you think about an ending, think about what’s changed– how has the character changed, even within a short scene? What has happened to them to get them to this new place?
In the prompt this week, I’m going to give you the end, and you’re going to write the scene that leads to this last line:
Sam jumped.
Write up to 500 words finishing with those two words at the very end.
Post your responses here at the Weekly Workshop Series Discussion Thread! I’ll read and give feedback as often as I can.
