For the anon of this post post/127573075279 – For me, it’s always easier to write out the scenes I see clearly (which is what I’m doing now), write the ending, and then go back to the beginning. Sometimes when I’m stuck on the beginning, it’s because I’m missing key information that’s needed and I find that while writing out other parts. Of course, everyone has different techniques that work for them and finding out what they are can be difficult.

Thank you! 🙂 That’s definitely a good technique for people who don’t like working chronologically!

I’m the kind of weirdo who has to do it all in order and then revise later with new information and dialogue. XD

I write almost all my scenes dialogue first, then crucial actions, then play connect the dots. It leads to a lot of disconnect between scenes (he’s standing? I thought he was sleeping) and lots of re-writing, but that’s how it all unfolds for me.

My writing partner hates it. 😛

This somehow ended up in Draft Purgatory!

That’s a very interesting way of doing things. Have you considered writing scripts? Most theatre/film scripts rely on the dialogue and have very few stage directions–that might be something you could look into trying out.

Thanks for the input!
