How A Writer Ends It All
When I was young, I had an epiphany: I could change a story I had read or seen or heard. I could re-write it and make the characters of a story change direction, multiple times if I wanted. Some mornings, I would get up to find my mother watching television. She would stumble upon a movie and watch it without knowing beforehand what the movie was about. Sometimes I would join her because I loved the mystery and newness of the movie, but other times I refused no matter how good it appeared to be because I had been burned before by the unsatisfactory ending. I think that this subconsciously added to my drive towards writing. In writing, I can have my revenge and create satisfactory endings for my readers because I know how they would feel if I did not write that type of ending. Of course, a "satisfactory ending" is different for everyone and different for each story. Having everyone live at the end may not be the best thing for the meaning behind the story. Lif
