I also re-write endings in my head! And you...Lol. I also re-write endings in my head! And you are right about a predictable ending being unexpected in many cases. I think that the best thing an author can write is a <B>satisfying</B> ending. And this, I believe, is often much harder than it would seem.Elle Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06860508736854124153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378709459593313871.post-87811202370981123612009-05-17T09:13:00.000-04:002009-05-17T09:13:00.000-04:00Hi Elle,
What a refreshing surprise ending to you...Hi Elle,<br /><br />What a refreshing surprise ending to you blog today. Truth.<br /><br />I do know what you mean. I've felt the same way about a lot of books I've read lately. <br /><br />I've fell toward fantasy stories, because the unimaginable is do-able there. Now I just want a good likable story with a predicable ending just because it is so unexpected.<br /><br />As to writing a story myself: Hang the ending all together. I just want to write and make myself happy. I'm not out for rewards. I want to be able to loose myself into another place and time, in a story well written. The ending is the place I wanted it to go. To another it may be rubbish.<br /><br />Of the books I read, I often rewrite the ending, in my head, of a story to my liking. If the writing is good I do this less often.<br /><br />The written word is such a strange but necessary way to communicate. It likes to think of itself as a true form but in the end it is smoke and mirrors erected in the mind of the reader.<br /><br />Thanks for giving me more to think about.<br /><br />Hugs, EuphoriaLady Euphoria Deathwatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669240998474374914noreply@blogger.com
