“if you have a character and he has this moral dilemma but doesen’t know what his goal is…”
I LOVE YOU!! XD That’s what was stopping me. I was looking for “conflict” but couldn’t come up with anything that fit. Well of course, if I don’t know what my MC wants

Most of the comments/criticism are not helpful so please get the off the highway or else post something “better”. I think this guy did a great job presenting the best of the best from his own research.

True. And every …
True. And every time the ending I had originally planned is not exactly how things turn out.
If you don’t know the ending, then foreshadowing will be difficult, and will have to later be inserted. If done that way, hopefully it doesnt feel inserted. If you know the ending, the foreshadowing will come naturally.

Knowing your ending …
Knowing your ending still leaves a lot of room for discovery. Many writers do so without being boring, and they also get to weave in foreshadowing and motifs.

I really like the …
I really like the way you break the information down. I totally agree with making the ending available to the writer/reader ahead of time, Kurt Vonnegut does this also. I feel like you’ve helped me more in these few minutes than my own creative writing workshop has done. Thanks so much for posting this and please continue to make more!

I don’t mean to state it as a matter of fact, but just that if you know the ending it is easy to get your characters there.

I disagree with …
I disagree with your statement that you must know the ending before you start or otherwise you will just chug along and not have a good ending. That’s not how I write. I write a story as I go and in doing so I suprise myself and the reader. Otherwise, the ending is often predictable or boring
January 20th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
The most important …
The most important thing to remember when discussing intricate story structure is to keep it subtle. I think when you begin a story, start it stupid. It should be a crazy amalgamation of cliche and then, as you sharply pointed out, and then you work from there. I WAY concur with your sharp assertion that the ending should be unearthed first and then everything before will follow. The best writers are the most manipulative.
This here is really quality material. Thank you.
