Light Speed

My writing has taken on a new urgency, and some of you might understand why. Currently, I'm working on writing a 'backwards' story. In other words, the beginning is really the 'ending' and the ending is the 'beginning'. I really enjoy the challenge of writing this kind of story, though it can be nerve-wracking because it does need to flow both forwards and backwards. The beauty is that I can slowly reveal information as I go along and things become more clear. The other issue is making sure each invidual scene is important, reveals information in the right order, and works with the scene that comes before and after it. Thank goodness for cut, copy and paste!
