Endings


Writing books and stories, I always had trouble with endings.

Even when I try and plan the ending in advance, it doesn't quite work. I actually write the ending, but can't seem to reach it, or doesn't stay happy with it enough to want it.

I can blame it on any number of things, but it comes down to my character. Finishing things, or following through, is not one of my strengths.

And it's not because I don't want to. Consciously, I do. But maybe there are undercurrents that don't really want to in my psyche. 

It holds me back from doing a lot of things, not just writing. I got many ideas I don't follow through. I predict failure before I touch ground. It's easier than trying.

Not to say I never try. I do. Even though it scares me.
