cool article. i'm going to make a concerted effort to look at this element in my reading and writing (in my own and others) now that i'm more actively aware.

updates
1. We raised a total of about $125 for the llama (my folks threw in the last $25), which has been purchased and will be sent to a family in need of one. Thanks you guys, mission accomplished. :-)
2. I have received no stories for the contest, which was not totally unexpected (Nano and holidays). So be it. The llama still happened.
3. That is all
up to 119.00 for llama fund
only about $30 to go before we hit the cost for the llama. that's only 10 more copies. this should be easy as pie. or cake... i know the lit community still likes that debate ;-)
CALL FOR CONTEST ENTRIES -- write a story and win a copy of the anthology :-)
we don't have much time left, let's spread the word that all proceeds from the sale of this book of stories from dA writers will go toward buying a llama for a family in need.. info in original journal --> We did it for REAL! + real actual llamas!! + b
i got another job so i guess i'll be around as much as i can for a minute
i know this breaks everyone's beating heart
i love the poor little babies i am leaving behind
apparently, june can't come fast enough for one girl at this site (i'm sure more than one, i am, after all, everything wrong with dA. talk about exhausting). if they only knew.
look, little sister.
sweetie darling sugar pie.
you've been here seven months. i know why you blocked me, it's okay. new writers don't like me. ever. because i tell them things they never want to hear. like
YOU HAVE TO DO THE FUCKING WORK AND IF YOU DON'T, YOU'RE LAZY.
i hope you try to get published someday because you will look back and realize i was the nicest person you ever met.
i hope to see you defend yourself in these comments and link me back to

Yet another thing to up my insecurities!
Cool endings? Tricky. A good ending is only good because of its relation to the story, so it would be hard to come up with a sure-fire method to write a good last sentence.
Some of those endings mentioned in the article don't even do a re-take on a term or concept mentioned earlier in the story, but touch on a broader, larger motif that may not have been as clear when everyone was still reading the the story. I think this is where good planning really pays off.
Unlike what the author says there, about the writer being absolutely free because they no longer need to keep the audience's commitment, I'd say the writer of a story is morally obliged to wrap things up with a satisfying ending. The written equivalent of a farewell with a handkerchief on the dockside, if you will.
