Leonardo da Vinci declared more than 500 years ago that “Art is never finished, only abandoned.”
But in reality, typing "The End" at the end of your manuscript or signing a painting can be one of the most rewarding parts of the process. Setting yourself up to finish your creative work is one of the most important elements of creative success.
In this episode of Creative Happy Hour, we drink a cocktail called The Bitter End and get drunk on the creative possibilities as we discuss why finishing what you started is so important, how to make sure you finish your creative work, and how to know when a creative work is finished. For the writers out there competing in NaNoWriMo, we'll also discuss how to wrap up your story and how to create a compelling ending.
