Homework before 19 August

Following on from Kate De Goldi's answer to May's question about planning...


The beginning and the ending are two halves of the same whole. Once you’ve set up a powerful question in your story’s opening, you have to follow through by deliberately answering it in the finale.
The moment you answer this question, your story is going to be effectively over. Answer it too soon, and what’s left of your plot and your characters will die a slow and lingering (and boring) death.
Knowing your ending will strengthen your plot, your theme, and your character development.

Go to your Ext Writing Folder for the activity. You will need to do some thinking and some note-making.
