I have an open-ended series.
I tell readers
I never plan to end it.
That’s a lie.
Because EVERY project ends
whether we want it to end
or not.
When I die,
this open-ended series
will end.
If no one reads the series,
it will likely end.
If I grow tired of it,
I will likely end it.
Knowing this,
I plan for the ending.
I write 5 story plot arcs.
I give the readers
places they can stop
and feel satisfied.
I insert possible ‘endings.’
“Every project
has a beginning,
and it has an ending
as well.
Don’t start a channel
if you’re not prepared
to end it.”
Your project will end also.
Are you prepared for that?
