Writing a book is difficult. Three things are most difficult: a suitable beginning, an exciting, interesting middle during which you don't give up on the project ... and a satisfying ending! You can end a book in three ways - with action (e.g. a kiss), dialogue or something spoken (e.g. "I promise. And this time I'll keep my promise. I promise.") or narration. In this article I have explored and compiled some of the Narration bookends. You can change them, adapt them and use them! #1: "But as you can imagine, we never got bored!" Suitable for: Children's books To note: Only use this ending if the reader has been addressed as "you" at least twice. #2: "Together. Forever." Suitable for: Romance, YA To note: This ending is a little cheesy - but extremely effective! If there are further volumes, you really ✨ need to ✨ shipp the couple there (at least at the beginning of the next volume)! #3: "Suddenly I stop [insert something the character does throughout the book (e.g. missing someone)]" Suitable for: YA, romance, books with strong interpersonal relationships. To note: The character must actually do the used frequently in the book! #4: "I don't pay attention to them because ... / I don't pay attention to them. I am far too absorbed in ..." Suitable for: daydreaming characters or those who have just had a dream fulfilled, found love or received a gift To note: Please do not use without context and substitution for the points! OTHER HELPFUL ARTICLES: - "Write what you know — settings" - "How to create the perfect plot (6 steps + helpful links)" - "The ultimate list to stay motivated, part II" #5: "And what better way than [character's plans for the future]?" Suitable for: Children's books, book series Note: the character must have had these plans for some time (even if it's the last three pages). #6: "[Something] is lost forever." Suitable for: sad endings, YA, book series To note: the ending can also be happy if you follow it with a sentence that goes something like this or something like this: "But it wasn't the end / But I still had [a beloved person/thing]." #7: "Somehow it's love at first sight. / Somehow it had been love at first sight." Suitable for: Children's and young adult books without a love focus, book series. To note: It can also be used as a reflection of what happened! If you liked this article, don't forget to like it.
