RE: Writing Tip #35: Don't Use the "It Was Just a Dream" Escape Hatch

in The Ink Well2 years ago

Here here. I hate it when students do that - it's usually the younger years. But I never quite knew how to explain WHY you don't end like that. This post articulates the 'why' perfectly. Well done.

Thank you, @riverflows. I'm glad it resonated with you. Many of our writing tips are about collecting our thoughts on what we think works well in short stories so we have an article to point to instead of re-explaining the ideas. I have a feeling we'll be using this one as regular resource. 😀

I love your resources - very handy both for you and budding writers. You do a wonderful job.
