How do you find the end of a story? I have lots of ideas but I don't know where the story should go. I never think they're enough, but then I see really good novels with not-so-complex plots.

My novel, 'Beautiful Me' is an example of this. The last line was already written in my head before even the first sentence had begun. The poem that followed was an add on.

I'm not sure if that answers your question ... for me, writing is trusting the intuitive process, trusting that once you start creating, the ending or beginning ... will just come.

Trust your story, trust your idea and let it unfold.(less)

within you.

Writing for me is like being an actress and a good actress just goes with the character, don't hold back. (less)

Quotes by Natasha Jennings (?)

“I wonder if she felt like me … like there’s someone inside that is so terrified, so alone … so confused and fucked up … death … it’s welcoming … it’s familiar. Living … that’s the hard part. Sometimes just taking a breath hurts.”
― Natasha Jennings, Beautiful Me
