I get tired of stories that keep going and going and never get anywhere. It's like a promise that's never fulfilled. Stories need endings. Otherwise, they aren't really stories. Just pages.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's easier to come up with new stories than it is to finish the ones you already have. I think every author would feel that way.
I'm one of those people who think that stories should have a beginning, a middle and an end, and then they're over, and then you tell the next story.
There are a few really fantastic stories left, and that kind of gives you some inspiration to find even new ones.
My sister-in-law believes that few narratives are so tightly constructed that you can't skip boring bits and still keep abreast of what's going on.
I think stories do have an ending. I think they need to have an ending eventually because that is a story: a beginning, middle and end. If you draw out the end too long, I think storytelling can get tired.
People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.
I just started to write because I was fed up of not seeing the stories that I wanted, so I was like 'Stop moaning and write something.'
When I begin to write a story, I usually know how things will end. It's the journey toward that point I must discover. The process is sometimes painful, but also exciting.
I love stories. I just enjoy telling stories and watching what these characters do - although writing continues to be just as hard as it always was.
You don't just have a story - you're a story in the making, and you never know what the next chapter's going to be. That's what makes it exciting.
