Endings

Stephen King once said, “If you already know the ending, why write the story.”
I always think I know how my stories will end when I start, but more often than not the characters take over and create their own endings. Working from an outline allows flexibility in my writing, but keeps it on target.
My WIP is a longer version of a short story written about five ago, so the ending was pretty much set. That was until I went to Astronomicon.
I believe it was Rick who said, “Ask yourself, What If.”
“What if?” I asked myself and came up with another ending.
I’m only halfway through, so there still may be another ending. I’m not going to know until I’m finished.
