Writing Endings Quotes

The story was such that I couldn’t make a graceful ending and then make a graceful new beginning. I could have, but I didn’t want to. So, it isn’t the most graceful way of writing a story. This new story is, I think, is pretty good stuff. I’m pleased with it anyway Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I used to be a freelance journalist, so I had to write fast, but I always found writing nonfiction constraining. I like the freedom of fiction, where I get to invent everything, and tidy, conclusive endings are within my control Picture Quote #1

I think in many ways the problem that my writing would have with an American reviewer is that Americans find difficulty very hard to take. They are inevitably looking for a happy ending Picture Quote #1

I never know what I’m going to write next. If I’m still writing the book but I’m very near the end, and I begin to think of what I’d like to do next, then I’ll know that what I’m writing is in hand. I’ll think of an ending and it will be fine Picture Quote #1

One thing that makes me very happy is to have a complicated idea and to feel that I’ve expressed myself clearly. I remember writing the ending to ‘Happier at Home.’ I wrote the entire book to build to that ending ‘now is now,’ and what I had to say was very abstract, and yet I felt satisfied that I managed to say what I wanted to say Picture Quote #1

The writing life is one long, never-ending search for narrative. Well, it’s not even a conscious searching. It happens even while you’re busy buying groceries and when you’re fast asleep. It’s a curse Picture Quote #1

A logic proof is: you get a starting point and an ending point, and you have to get there through all these different steps and tautologies. I approach novel writing that way. When I get to the end I have to go back and connect everything Picture Quote #1

I always rewrite the very beginning of a novel. I rewrite the beginning as I write the ending, so I may spend part of morning writing the ending, the last 100 pages approximately, and then part of the morning revising the beginning. So the style of the novel has a consistency Picture Quote #1

I seem to have a talent for writing endings that seem just right to me but that frustrate other people Picture Quote #1
