Susan, writing that “how to write introductions” post was so much fun — I think it was one of my best blog posts ever! Learned alot just by writing it.

George, good point: yup, these tips for writing great conclusions could work for short stories, too. And poems, school essays, personal essays, screenplays….some literary techniques are effective in most genres, I think.

Thanks for dropping in

Laurie

Laurie,

Interesting. As I read this post it occurred to me that it could be a great set of tips for *beginning* a story. A lot of the same principles apply I think.

Cheers

George

My favorite way to end an article is #3, referring back to the introduction. I love reading articles where writers have done this — it’s just such a tidy way to wrap it up!

Ending book chapters is a little different, though. You want to leave loose ends dangling, so readers are compelled to dive into the next chapter.

Thanks for this, Susan!

Thanks for the tips (and for using my living abroad article as one of the examples–I’m flattered).
