Start Story With The Ending
- Start your story by figuring out the ending first to guide your beginning effectively.
- Both outlining and discovery writers benefit from targeting the ending early in their process.

- Over-telegraphing an ending risks making the story predictable and boring for readers.
- A strong ending balances foreshadowing with surprise to keep readers engaged and excited.
Adjust Endings To Avoid Predictability
- When readers predict your ending, either reduce your hints or create a new, better ending.
- Use subtle foreshadowing and misdirection like a magician to surprise your audience effectively.
