Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: yeah! this problem used to annoy me so much (lol) so now i just write all my stories going from scene to scene as they come to me, I'll usually end up doing it in a really wierd order!. But that way i can really write well, because im enjoying what im writing, and it all connects together eventually, because ideas just come!. So I say go for it!Www@QuestionHome@Com It is all up to you the order you write you manuscript!. I am a published author and something I seem to always find myself doing is that I tend to get impatient to get the ending down, and skip the middle section and write the ending!. Then I know where the characters will be, what they are doing and what I will need to connect the beginning and the end!. It doesn't matter how you write it!. Use any method that is right for you to get it writen!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Starting from the middle will probably be confusing, yes!. But starting at the end might not be too confusing!. It gives you a point to work up to!. If you start with the ending climax then you could think - okay - this the ending climax now how do I work my way up to it!? also - if you are having trouble coming up with a first sentence - open up several books and see how those authors started it and imitate their style!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Just write!. Soon enough you'll see eddies and gullies forming to accomodate all your pre-concieved portions!. Soon enough, as soon as your creative juices start flowing, you'll find that it's actually easier to "just write" first and organize later!. This way, the story possibilities will be endless!Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes! Start writing what you already know, and the rest will fall into place!. I write my stories backwards sometimes, and they turn out fine!. If you have a mind like I do then starting from the beginning is very difficult!. I play my stories through my head like movies before I write them down, and my ideas flow really well!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes! You can also look to publishers!. Just for some criticism!. I think you should write a beggining too but you can do that after so you don't loose what you want for the middle and end!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It's okay to start the writing anywhere, if and only if you have a complete and fairly detailed plan for the whole thing!. Since I find middles hardest, I often start there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes, deffinitly!. Just write an outline to keep you on track!. I'm sure you are familliar with the Twilight series!. Well, that is exactly what Stephanie Meyer did and look where she is now!!Www@QuestionHome@Com yesWww@QuestionHome@Com okWww@QuestionHome@Com |
