  • The five types of endings
  • Things that need to happen in act three
  • Ways to use the ah and uh-oh emotional wallops

  • The most important secret of all: resonance
  • The "stew, brew, accrue, do" brainstorming method
  • The best way to tie up loose ends
  • The most common ending mistakes, and how to avoid them.
  • And more!
