I can never end it good, I just can't think of how to end most of the stuff I write. It's like it keeps going on and on and there never is a proper ending that makes any sense. It's probably my biggest problem, I just don't have good ideas on how to end stories.

Write out a plot and outline before you fill in the storyline but Nicodemus Whateley's idea has merit. Dead or mad.

i've never been able to do that outline method.. i change my mind too many times over the course of writing. but i can see how that's a good way to start, if you can't start

maybe you can choose your ending when you start, then work towards it.

I agree with grendelvs...try coming up with a really odd ending, and see what twists and turns you will need to get there.
