Write toward the end.
When you start a manuscript, you set power in motion.
How could you control the forces you have unleashed so they don’t go wild?
Here is a tip for you, my dear colleague writer:
Think ahead. Imagine the end of your book, and work toward that end.
It seems obvious, but it is less evident for most aspiring writers or professionals. Most of us got lost in the maze. In the middle of our tale, we don’t know or can figure out where it is going.
So, have clear in your mind, from beginning to end, what your story is about, how it will start, with a fantastic eye-catching sentence, and how the end will be, aside from The End.
