On the Fourth Day of NaNo Prep my Novel Gave to Me...

Hey everyone!  We have reached the fourth day of NaNo prep.  Let's get right in.
On the fourth day of NaNo prep my novel gave to me… A general plot (Part two).  Well this is way more exciting than yesterday, right?  *crickets*.  Yeah, that's what I thought.  In part two of my general plotting I go to my ending, skipping the middle because normally the middle is the hardest to figure out (for me).
The ending is critical, because the readers have to leave feeling satisfied, unless it's a series, then you should probably dish out dissatisfaction, but that's another subject for another time.  Sometimes you'll know your ending down to the very lines the characters speak, or sometimes it'll be simply a blur that gives you a rough idea of where you're headed.  For my current WIP I have it down to the line, but for my NaNo work, it's all a blur, so it really could go both ways.
What does your ending need?  How about a resolution?  Series or not, this is very important.  My current WIP is book one in a five book series.  Even though I plan on leaving a cliffhanger of sorts, I still have to give the readers something to hold on to, because I want to keep my readers.  So I'll end with leaving the characters in uncertainty, with a degree of certainty.  The readers will know where the characters are headed at that moment, but it'll almost be a frying pan into the fire situation, so even though the readers will know where the characters are going, they'll have absolutely no clue how the characters will get out of it.  For a one book show, the readers need to feel like the character is secure, wherever they're headed.  There can't be any "how will they get out of it this time?" because then it calls for another explanation, which isn't a resolution.
For my NaNo novel, the blur for the ending I have is the character learns their lesson, and lives semi-happily ever after.  The beginning is the character is involved in the new war, World War 1, or, the Great War.

How about you?  Have you figured out your ending?  Do you have a blur, or do you have it pinned down to the line?  Let me know in the comments!
