Writing is Hard - Supernatural Fanfic Advice [Hiatus]

Swan Songs - A Lesson on Endings

It's hands-down the most dreaded part of a book. It's even more dreaded than admitting a fan favorite is dead and not coming back again.

It's also the most difficult. How will the story end? Does it justify the story's journey? Does it work? Does it leave the people wanting more? Does it lead into a sequel or the start of more books?

Is your head spinning right now? 

That's how authors feel from time to time.

If you don't know the endgame right off the bat, don't sweat it. Sometimes, you just don't know how the story is going to end. Will the OC beat the odds? Will he/she end up with their love interest? Or will they end up like most people in Supernatural and get killed off?

Sometimes, it doesn't hit you over the head right away. Best advice for that? Write the story and see where it takes you. The deeper you get into the story, the ending will become clear.

If you know your endgame beforehand, awesome. Use it as inspiration. The goal is to get from Point A to Point B. Use Point B as fuel for the path.
