There is no real ending. It's just the point where you stop the story. This sentence made me think, because after all it really is like that. It is the writer who decides when the story is finished, it is not the story that ends at a specific point. No story has a real end, but is just a succession of events and facts, some more important than others. Some time ago I published a post on how to write the ending of a story, comparing three excipits of famous fantasy novels, each different on the other and each functional.
And, in my opinion, from those endings we understand how Herbert was right. The epic ending Maybe it's a little too overused, maybe it's even more appropriate in cinematography. I honestly don't like it, because I don't find it natural, but rather studied. And history - understood as a set of facts - is not studied, it is instead Phone Number Data natural, fluid. An epic ending is perhaps more suited to some literary genres, or rather to fairy tales, in which the writer is led to surprise his readers, to amaze them. Epic endings are worthy of novice writers, in my opinion, writers who have read little too.
The ending that strikes It is always a studied ending, since the writer writes a sentence that must remain in the reader's memory, a sentence that shakes him, that enters the heart and makes him think, even move. But it is not a natural ending, because reality can strike or not, therefore the story - which is fiction, but also literary reality - can strike or not. An ending must strike you with its naturalness, because it flows and heralds a sequel, even if that sequel will never happen. A striking ending suggests a writer who wanted to use his best narrative skills at the end of the book, so that the reader remembers him. But it's easy to make readers remember a writer: just write an unforgettable story.
