A sanctuary for weary writers, inky wretches, and aspiring professional novelists. |
I don't know, but it was a similar situation on another site that led one poet to stir up all her friends in a concerted hate-rate attack. (Her only mistake was in assuming I'd actually care about the ratings. Instead, she only managed to prove me right.) I can honestly say that I don't think I've EVER had an ending in mind when I started a story. I'm discovering it, learning from my characters, letting my subconscious lead me there - much as I would do if I were reading it, rather than writing it. It's not that I don't know how to get there. It's just...if I figure it all out too soon, I get bored and stop writing. Isn't that odd? I do know how to use the tools of my trade (so often the "doing it my way" folks really mean "my ideas are SO intriguing, SO fascinating it simply shouldn't matter at all that i kn't spel fur sht an my centins tructur wil hav u taring ur hare out bi thu rutes") so getting there isn't a problem - but knowing in advance where I'm going? This is why I don't outline anything, either.
