Learn how to write from the beginning as you plot your story from the end.
Writing for discovery benefits creativity and, without a clear idea of where your story is taking you, can quickly lead you astray. Rather than for months wandering down dead-ends and dark alleyways, plot your story from the end to the beginning as your write from the beginning to the end. Writing from the beginning and plotting from the end supports both your logic and your imagination.
As you write forward, constantly ask yourself who your protagonist is at the end. What is she doing at the Climax and why? The more different your character is at the end to who she shows herself to be at the beginning, the greater her character arc, growth, change and transformation. The greater her change, the more satisfied your readers will be.

As you plot from the end, keep writing from the beginning. Eventually the two shall meet.
