after i started outlining my stories, i relate to you on the struggling to write a suitable ending aspect....
it doesn't even necessarily have to be an angsty fic, hell i only have 1 angst wip while the rest are still considered fluff, but i still struggle to make a happy ending because it doesn't fit for some reason (sigh) maybe it's just a writing style? maybe, who knows...
ooh, anon is a writer too. welcome to my personal hell aka the reason a girl’s got 20 wips that only need an ending to be just about done. in my case, the story materializes up to a certain point but usually the ending isn’t included in that so my flow is disrupted. recently i’ve started coming up with endings but blanking in the middle instead🥹 dj play the remix, i guess.
but seriously, endings don’t have to be happy. happiness isn’t a permanent state, only a temporary feeling. i often settle with hopeful endings or melancholic ones, nostalgic… they’re all pretty. sometimes you can just cut the story off, slice of life it. best of luck, darling🤍
