These are probably the two hardest parts of a story to write. Discuss.

Endings are easy for me but beginnings suck razz I generally start in a few chapters after the start of the story and then go back and write it later on when things start feeling more naturally. But ending s I would write those all day cause I always know how the story is going to end hehe

I have no problem starting a story, its ending it that goes down the potty. I agree with Kaida though, the whole "Darka dn dreary" I don't like. Just start off with something normal. I don't know how to explaian it, beginnings just flow for me. For the ending I have a problem with making a climax so I bet that is why the ending never really fit.

Really?
Beginnings and endings are my favourite parts to write, but especially beginnings. It's the time where imagination has the most room to run loose - anything can happen. I have lots of fun writing the initial chapters to a story... it's all the events in between, where there's not as much freedom, that I despise. ^^
And endings... well, I prefer to write a fic sequencially, rather than skip around back and forth between chapters, so I associate endings with the fuzzy feeling of completion, hehe.

I'm much better at beginnings than endings. I tend to hop around when I write, rather than going sequentially, but I'm also heavy, heavy into causality and can't finish a fic without a really solid beginning and middle. So I tend to spend so much time on the beginning and middle that my planned end doesn't work anymore, and then I have to wing it.

I don't "skip around" per se, like I wouldn't jump a whole chapter or anything (unless something hit me and I had to write it down right than) but jumping a few plot points, maybe a page or two in a sense, ahead is something I will do if I can't think of anything.
And I know how that goes about the endings no longer working mary, I hate when that happens lol I reedited my novel so much that I had to add a whole nother chapter into it to make everything work right xd

I know exactly what you mean, because that just happened to me -- that long fic of mine was supposed to be 28 chapters instead of 29, but I wrote myself into a corner and needed another one. xp
