How to End Your Story

"Congratulation! Thanks For Your Reading"

The Future of Literary Psychology

Proper Endings for Fantasy Main Characters

Addendum

"It was only a dream," the book begins. Would you read a book like that? Me neither, but it might just be crazy enough to work.

What Makes for a Good Ending?

Doesn't matter. Nobody's going to make it that far anyway.
