10) Find a resolution
The solution to the conflict. In fiction, it is difficult to provide a complete resolution and you often need to just show that characters are beginning to change in some way or starting to see thing differently.
Some of the options for ending a story:
- Open. Readers determine the meaning.
- Resolved. Clear-cut outcome.
- Parallel to the Beginning. Similar to the beginning situation or image.
- Monologue. Character comments.
- Dialogue. Characters converse.
- Literal image. Setting or aspect of setting resolves the plot.
- Symbolic Image. Details represent a meaning beyond the literal one.
