How to Write a Good Ending to a Story

Writing a good story ending means wrapping up all the loose ends you created, in all the story lines you wrote for your characters. Readers prefer a happy ending, so consider that as you resolve your characters' situations.

Instructions

    • 1
      Make a list of each character and the situations they've faced throughout the story. This is a methodical way to avoid forgetting a loose end you really should tie up at the end.
    • 2
      Decide how you want to wrap up a situation for each character. If you've implied a relationship between two minor characters, send them out on their first date as a way to give them a happy ending. Find a similar solution for each of your minor characters, if it's appropriate to do so.
    • 3
      Look at each of your main characters and decide how you want their story to end. A good ending is one where all the conflicts are resolved and all misunderstandings are straightened out.
    • 4
      Put your main characters in a position where they have to deal with each other. This gives them the opportunity to resolve any conflicts or misunderstandings. They can be locked in an elevator, stuck on a boat or any other situation you can conceive where they're forced to talk.
    • 5
      End the story you're writing by allowing your main characters continue their lives either happily together or comfortably apart. Since most readers prefer a happy ending, many characters end up happily together.
