Writing About Writing: The End
A lot of people say that the hardest thing about writing a book (or script, or comic) is starting it. Choosing where to begin, not to mention how the story should start, picking a good opening line to hook the readers, and of course the process of writing an entire story from start to finish. It's a daunting challenge. However, in my opinion there is something even more important: How to end it.

Alone in the Jungle
The canopy is so dense that it suffocates all light. I am slashing through the dense boscage to get to the light, but I don’t know which way to go, or if I will ever get out of the forest. This jungle feels often filled with peril, and lonely. I came to this tangle of vines, underbrush, and unknown unfamiliar territory, with a dream, a goal, a determination. I planned and still plan to reach the end of the primeval and reach the inner sanctum of a place that is not easily traversed. I am a writer, and I want to write as a career.

Making Your Prologues Worth Reading
Prologues are not popular. A lot of readers actually refuse to read them, and skip right over them like a short wall: These readers have found that prologues are pretty much a waste of time, and so there’s no reason to read them. Too many writers use the prologue to catch people up, introduce characters with little payoff, or just show off that they can write; these are poor reasons to have a prologue. While the prologue can do a lot of work for your story, it needs to be done with some finesse.
