Days19

As long as I do the ending. For the course of my writing career I have created things that I havent begun, and things that I havent finished. I can no longer remember the things I havent started but what is bothering me is the things I want to finish but I cant. Well, its not like I cant, but then I get stuck in the middle and procrastinate, get excited for the ending that I forget what was in the middle.

Yeah, these things are the ones that I always mull over and continue every now and then, but at the end of the day I see myself far from the ending than when I started.

Endings are great. It just gives a great feeling for me when I finish a story, and it feels like a signal for me to start anew. A new beginning. There are a million possibilities. And so, you can imagine just how frustrated I am for not being able to finish what I have started.

On reading stories, or starting a series, or anything that I find will take me a long time to finish, one thing I usually do is to go ahead and watch the ending. I know it will be a spoiler for me but then if it turned out to have a bad ending, it would save me from the trouble and not watch the entire series at all. 

So then, I was thinking. If this habit of mine has saved me from a lot of frustration and lost time, maybe I should do the same as when I write stories. Right after the beginning, I would write the ending that I like, and work through it. This is something I find brilliant at the moment, and I cant wait to try it after this month challenge. I hope I can finish what I started.
