Even if I don\u2019t have a clear idea about what my hero\u2019s journey will be, I write the end first. It is my innate need to know where I\u2019m going. The only way I know when I\u2019m getting to my destination.<\/p>\n<p>Also, looking back has its advantages. You can see clearly\u00a0what shouldn\u2019t be in the book as well as find new subplots by simply\u00a0asking \u201cwhat if?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It might be perceived as a limitation, but for me is the best way I found to convert all my effort into writing a complete, interesting story. If I don\u2019t feel the need to change the ending while I\u2019m writing the book, it means that is a good ending, one I believe in.<\/p>\n<p>You should know it might seem limiting to write your story with an ending in mind before you even start writing. But if you&rsquo;re feeling stuck or have writer&rsquo;s block, this could be just what you need to get on track again\u2014just knowing where your hero will end up is enough for now! This method has its advantages too: not only does it help us find our way through potential plot twists more easily than when we don&rsquo;t know what they are until later, but looking back from time to time means we can see clearly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>While the beginning of the book determines a person to read your story, the end will create the need to tell others about this book and buy the next one.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I always write the end first.
