If I Could Change the Ending of Any Book, Which One Would It Be?

If you could change the ending of any book, which one would it be? The Book I Would End Differently I. The Shelf Where Regret Lives I would change the ending of The Great Gatsby. I say this not because I want to rescue Gatsby,or flatten the book into comfort,or hand the night a moral it never asked for.I would change it because I have lived long enoughto know that some endings do not simply…

Crafting Your Ending

Quick questions I answer before I get too deep into my writing. These specific questions came to me via the Scriptnotes podcast, which you can find here.

What do they think at the beginning? 

What do they think differently at the end?

Why is that difference interesting?

What decision are they going to make, that can epitomize that new state of mind. Which action?

What would be the best most excruciating test of faith for my character's new outlook on life in order to prove the change.

Thinking about this as the ending of a book im writing(or trying to)

*Warning- Murder*

And so I plunge the knife deep into his chest, reveling in the agony on his face, and the whoosh of the air leaving his lungs. A smile creeps onto my face as his breathing shallows, his eyes glazing as I tug the knife and it slides out, dripping with the crimson of his blood. I even give a cold laugh as his breathing stops, the voices hissing with approval in my head. And then, I turn to Charles, with a grin I hope is bonechilling and whisper, "you're next"

Guys, idk is that good? I'm not sure whether I like it?

Hey Tumblr, How do you write a good ending to your book? I finished my story but the ending feels out of place and rushed, but if I add more story it feels dragged on like I'm really milking these characters for all they're worth.

Assassins fic (How I'd end my book if I ever wrote one) - "He knows this is the end because all he can think of, is her"

B's reached the end of his life. He knows this with surety.

How? you might ask.

Well, it's not because he's writhing in pain, unable to staunch the blood flowing from his chest. It's not because there seems to be more blood pooled around him than what's left in his body. It's not because he's in a dark alleyway and your quintessential fucking villain is slowly approaching him for the killing blow..

He knows this is the end because all he can think of, is her.

Her. A's face envelops his thoughts. Her evil laugh, her low voice, the way her features soften under the moonlight.

The heavy steps stop. A weapon is raised, casting a black shadow over his broken body.

'I'll never forgive you'. The last words she'd ever said to him.

'Don't,' he whispers, voice skimming over the cobblestones, reaching no one.

The killing blow never comes.
