Admit it. You love having the last word, especially if it is the perfect exit line. How many of us turn to the last page of a book and read that final sentence before we should? Here’s the goal. Write one last line a day, a last line that could end a short story or a novel. Happily ever after does not count. Check them out on Twitter @maureenmcquerry.

Nancy@1stsentence will be tweeting first lines. Try your own story using both the first sentence of the day and the last.

To start us off, J.D. Salinger, “Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.”

The next ones have to be original.
