This is mostly why I've not written anything for months. The last line, the clincher, is usually what pops into my head when I get an idea for a fic and then the rest just falls out as I build to that end. But, I've not had any endings. I pout.
ALTHOUGH, I may not have got an ending but I think one of my n3_het fics is starting to come together. I had one thing started for it but that fic was going nowhere. I got another idea yesterday. We'll see how it goes. :)
That's not usually how I write, but with this particular fic I did get an idea pretty early on for a final (or almost final) line that I thought would be funny, and then... it didn't work. Haha. So I just deleted it and ended the fic 87 words earlier!
Good luck! Don't forget, they only have to be 300 words, so you can think small if that'll make it more manageable for you. :-)
I'm really shooting for 301 words - that way there's less pressure to make some grand fic out of it when I'm having such a hard time writing. Although, the idea that I got for the n3_het fic sparked something today that turned into 1.5K. I started it today and finished it today. I hope that's a sign of good things to come. :)

I could take a look at it. put the crappy line in (one of these) so I can determine.
