Pages 211 and 212 focus on the conclusions in papers. They tell you to stray away from the abrupt ending, the "thats all folks". I personally have an extremely hard time with my conclusions. Like they say in CDA, I want to make a strong bold statement in my ending that will stick with my readers, but I'm usually to eager to get it all over with to actually focus on my ending. I like their idea of producing the most awkward conclusion as possible and working with other people to make it right, and it may also be a good idea to write my conclusions in the middle of my papers when I'm the most enthusiastic to get the right effect. The question is though how can I dramatically conclude this blog??
Haha... You're right, Cat,

You're right, Cat, it's difficult to write an effective ending. Heck, by the time I get to the end of a paper, I'm ready to get outta there; usually your brain is fried by the ridonkulous amount of thinking you've just done. I think this leads writers to neglect their precious endings, which is the part of your writing that will stay with a reader. A powerful ending does a lot for a paper, article, story, etc. Think of how pissed you get when a novel or movie doesn't end the way you want it to.
I like the ideas CDA presents. I also think it might be a good idea to write the conclusion first, or to step away for a number of days before trying to wrap up. Get some distance. Play hard-to-get with your paper for a while. Then write the conclusion
