#18 The story is never finished

One of my little sisters, (She isn't my biological; but she might as well be)
asked me about a story she is writing.. she said 'The story's finished, but I don't know what else to add'

I replied to her 'Are you sure the story is finished.. there is always something else to add'

And truly, there was-- she added more to the story!

What am I trying to say here... we as writers-- what we write never really has an ending-- but we need to gather to some type of conclusion otherwise the story will drag.
But all of the stories that you have written, can you tell me that they are COMPLETELY finished? That you're not able to expand on at least one thing in that story?

For some.. I know your answer is yes.. you know why? Because you've written it in that way. But for me I can definitely say no. There are so many other stories  that can come out of the stories I've written.

But then it's also good to keep your readers on their toes.. which is why sequels and prequels are absolute GOLD.
Especially when they are good... (I was going to reference something but my lips are sealed.. :|)

I recently had a look at my old notebooks and their are tons of unfinished stories...
I challenge you to dip back in your old books and see if you can revive any old stories you have written.

You never know!
