 * Neil Gaiman’s Eight Rules of Writing.**

**Rule 3: "Finish what you’re writing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it."**

Out of the eight rules of writing, the most important one to me would have to be the third one. “Finish what you’re writing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it.” This rule applies greatly to me whenever I am writing a story in my free time and I just can't finish it. I either get bored with my writings and just want to stop writing or I get busy and I forget that I had a story I was writing and just never continue it. When I do start writing a story I have a tendency to over write things making my story that much longer and it also makes it even harder to put an end to the story when I just want to continue writing. It's kinda twisted I know but they tend to happen to me a lot. Every story in the end, must come to an end. I just need to learn to know when to stop adding things and just put an end to the story or keep my mind thinking about the story and finish it. If were to put an ending on the story I could comeback to it later and read it, fix it and then If I feel like it add more too it. It’s just finishing the story that makes writing stories that much more challenging for me.
