Okay, so this is from Legendborn, spoilers for Legendborn. They feel like they have a completely different mood than the hook that’s been established for the next story. Wes: Although I have occasionally seen ending lines that feel a little weird. The last lines are usually hopeful about the challenges that are happening, like “we’re going to weather these challenges together!” because that way, the reader has some relief in between books and isn’t just, you know, like a cliffhanger and on edge. So a lot of books that have hooks in them, they have the hook, but then the last lines aren’t actually devoted to the hook. I think if you were to end your last lines with a “dun dun duuuun!”, usually when people end one book, they can’t immediately pick up the next book. The one thing I will say is usually at the end of the book, if it’s a first in the series, there will be a hook for the next book, but usually that hook is not the last lines. It can help dissipate tension and the reader can walk away feeling at ease. For instance, if somebody read your story because it’s a humorous necromancy story, like Gideon the Ninth, one way would be to emphasize that it’s a humorous necromancy story and kind of remind them of that, you know, quintessential experience that they showed up for.Īnother way to do it is to emphasize the resolution of the big problems with the story, which helps to leave them with a feeling of satisfaction, right? Remind them that, you know, the protagonist is out of danger or that their big goal has been accomplished. We can talk about what that mood should be.įor one thing, you can emphasize the atmosphere and concept of the story. So…what about your last lines? Generally, it’s first setting the mood you want your readers to walk away with. That’ll do it.Ĭhris: So the first question is, what is the purpose of a closing line? Right? Cause we all know what the purpose of an opening line is, it’s to draw people into the story. Oren: The line in the exact middle of the book. They’re definitely different from every other line! Oren: Are we going to do middle lines next week?Ĭhris: Cause those are very distinctive. I feel like maybe the end of the podcast isn’t the best place for it.Ĭhris: So this time we’re talking about closing lines as opposed to opening lines. Oren: I have some concerns about where we’re putting the opening bit. And of course I came up with a cool opening bit, but you’re not going to be able to listen to it until the end. With your hosts, Oren Ashkenazi, Wes Matlock, and Chris Winkle.Ĭhris: You’re listening to the Mythcreants podcast.

The part related to progression also changes, resembling more a role-playing title with capital letters.
