Writing Exercise Part II
The second part of the exercise was to use those same elements and write the END of your story. Most writers don’t seem to have a problem starting a story or even getting into the meat of it. But ending your story or novel is always the hardest part. At least, ending it with satisfaction.
So here’s the ending I wrote for my beginning:
By the time the fire department and the paramedics show up, the nurse is dead, my third Thursday three o’clock is unconscious on the floor in a pool of sculpting gel, the leprechaun has stopped breathing, shoved halfway into the mouth of his sousaphone, and the gerbil has escaped with my virginity and the contents of the cash register.
I always was a sucker for rodents with a French accent.
