Book beginning/ending

The daily prompt with a question I’m totally disinterested in. – If you could change the ending of any book, which one would it be.

I don’t have an answer to this question. But I am interested in writing a book. I’ve started a few and haven’t made a ton of progress but each day I’m plugging away. I have trouble imagining the ending right now. As time changes and life change the ending my change.

Because those are the things that I’m writing about. Life, time and what we do with it. Writing is easy. Editing is another thing. I’m learning I just need to write first and edit later. I get caught up in mixing the two together too often.

I don’t even want to think about an ending now because the journey is still going on and that is the enjoyable part of the process. The end/finish line is the sense of accomplishment. But the writing up to that ending is what makes that special.
