Day - 252

Writing Backwards...Again

So today I tackled the fun task of writing a different ending to Red Bow 2.0. This new ending is one of the major twists I was talking about the other day. I'm noticing a pattern here though. I like to write the ending before the middle section is done. Is that weird? Maybe by writing the ending early, it can help me better develop the beginning and middle sections of a story. I'm not sure, but I think it really works for me. By writing the ending first, I'm able to tie in plots lines a lot more easily than trying to do that the other way around.

I bet you're wondering, "What is so great about what you wrote today with your new ending?" Oh mercy, let me tell you. I reread what I wrote and covered my mouth and said, "Oh snap!" Not only is it completely messed up, but it teases the reader because they have to go back and think about different sections of the book to see the scenes from different angles. There is a new level of continuity for the story with the new ending. At least in my opinion. Then again, people who read it may say,"That is the lamest ending ev-ah!" To them I say, "Ok, I'll try to write a better ending next time." It's just fuel for the fire because I don't like to fail and I'm a perfectionist. If you tell me that I can't do something, I'm going to work at it until I am able to do it. Sure, I'm an amateur writer, but I want to be a professional and accomplished writer. Baby steps, baby steps!!

Look behind you!! Is that Bow standing there? Gah! He's coming for you........
