My own way of writing is very meditated and, despite my reputation, rather slow-moving. So I do spend a good deal of time contemplating endings. The final ending is usually arrived at simply by intuition.
Quote of the Day: Joyce Carol Oates
The first sentence can’t be written until the final sentence is written.
Quote of the Day: Joyce Carol Oates
