Introduction

This episode of Writing Excuses is 15 minutes long because that was the end. And also the beginning. We're going to talk about endings and how to work backward. Dan: For me when I'm writing my best endings come when I know what they are very far ahead of time. Howard: Sometimes you might telegraph your ending way too much meaning if you are driving so powerfully toward this ending it may become very obvious to your reader which is not necessarily a good thing.
