Question for the writers on my list

[switch842]

Have you ever written the end of a story first? Cos I have this one percolating and it's inspired by this song. But the song is really the end of the story. And I almost feel like I need/want to write that first. Then I can figure out how to get there.

Does that make any sense? Or is it the most bass-ackwards thing I've ever said?

The only story I've ever written in order is Suffer, and even at that, I wrote part of the end when I was about halfway through with the rest.

What Dreams May Come - I dreamed most of the middle section, but the last line was the very first thing I actually wrote.

Cocidian - I wrote the tag scene first, so beyond the end on that one. But that one pretty well started at the end and bounced back and forth until the two parts caught up with each other anyway. I did the same thing with one of my ER stories.

So yeah, I do it all the time. :)

Glad I'm not the only one. I hope I can get this one worked out....
