The idea of writing the ending first is genius. I'm writing in snapshots rather than chapters and hoping it all comes together somewhere down the line but the ending would give me a clear view of the road ahead. Clever idea - thanks Carol!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225236070042326154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-36198821614382634072014-06-09T12:47:41.273-07:002014-06-09T12:47:41.273-07:00Aww.thanks Hap.

I loved it! I can't think why mine was so boring and serious now. This is much more enlightening and such fun to read too! I cannot imagine writing the way you do, but I'm very glad it works for you, Carol, because I love the end products! By the way, about Murphy, he can take over Sindy's blog. She's decided she's too old for it now and nobody reads it anymore - probably because she's too old…s'not fair (which is what she says to everything, actually).Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-30359015310123873512014-06-07T07:56:24.402-07:002014-06-07T07:56:24.402-07:00Ta Mr Rope.

I try to go down the traditional route of writing down an overall plot then planning each chapter. By the time I've done that I'm quite often sick of what I'm doing and put it in the pending file.

I hadn't realised there was a 'process' when I started out! Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to read Honour & Obey, I was totally hooked with Diamonds & Dust so I'm excited there's more to come.
