We've all had those type of stories or ideas. The ones that are half formed and no matter how hard we work at them they are never complete. I actually have had several ideas for full length novels that have been like that. Frankly, I don't have enough time to write all the novels I have ideas for, so most of them usually fade from my mind and never become more that a half form concept.
Recently, I had an idea for a short story. The idea, the characters, the plot, they all grabbed me and demanded that I write them. The only problem was I could not think of an ending. The rest of the plot just came to me, and typically I have to think about it. I guess the rest of the story was just so forceful and easy that the ending on purposely stayed aloof. Even though I didn't have an ending, I wrote the story anyway. I knew that if I didn't it would end up fading away and never being written. After trying a week to come up with a suitable ending, I did the only thing I could. I went to my family in help. I charged them with finding an ending for this story of mine. In the end KatySue came up with an idea that I think fits the rest of the story perfectly.
Thank you KatySue.
