Novel Kicks Writing Room: Backwards Coming Forward.

Novel Kicks Writing RoomWednesday 5th October 2016: Backwards Coming Forward. 

Today’s writing prompt is about writing and starting at the end. Go through your ideas journal and pick a story that sparks inspiration.

Now, begin writing it but start at the end and work your way back. Start with the last line and end with your first line.

Then, once you’ve finished, read it forward.

If you need a little inspiration, try these….

A clown who ends up with his own circus but starts out as a lawyer.

A family who end up living on another planet because they’ve had to abandon their own.

You reveal the murderer but not who the victim is until the beginning.

If you like, feel free to post some of your work below in the comments.

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
