Tip: It's Okay If You Don't Know How Your Story Ends Yet

Some writers gravitate naturally toward detailed outlines and lots of planning. Some don't. I'm one of the ones who doesn't. I often hear new writers say they don't want to begin writing down their novel or story because they "don't know how it ends yet." But here's the deal: often, the end will come to you while you are writing. Sometimes all kinds of things surprise you while you are writing. If you don't know the end yet, that's perfectly all right. Start writing and 99 percent of the time it will come to you. Really.
