Anyone have any blog, youtube, or article links - or advice - for writing a great ending?
I'm working in a rom com genre and the thing with romance is that the guy gets the girl, the reader/viewer knows this is going to happen, so I think it's a strike against the writer as a predictable ending. I know the HOW is just as important as the what. Just looking for some insight on a great ending. For instance I really liked the ending to 500 Days of Summer. Guy doesn't get the girl, and it's open ended. Perfect, fresh. Easy A had a good ending too. Kept throwing you off with the guys Olive might have ended up with. Wedding crashers, however, guy gets the girl, after a cheesy speech. Kind of predictable. (I loved wedding crashers, for the record), but still better than an ending like Hitch.
Okay, thanks!
