#WriteStuff Q6: Chronologically, what if the ending wasn’t the ending? Consider a writing project you didn’t finish, for example. If the story ended earlier or later in the timeline, might the story have a new life?

#WriteStuff Q5: Think of a scrambled timeline (we see you, too, Pulp Fiction). Can this work with a story you’ve written, or are you glued to your timeline?

Future writing can be tricky - does it really let the MC unfold naturally into the story? #WriteStuff

I love that you said this. What a great connection that makes the character (and their story) believable! #WriteStuff

#WriteStuff Q4: How about flash forwards (not foreshadowing, but scenes in the future? Have you considered, or seen effective use, of showing what happens in the future? (We see you Saving Private Ryan!)

We go where the story takes us (even if it's backwards). #WriteStuff

Sometimes even just a sprinkle of direction is helpful, but having a hefty measure of direction can drive both the story and the writer. #WriteStuff

#WriteStuff Q3: A few weeks back, the topic of flashbacks came up. This is another way of writing backwards. Unvarnished truth: how do you feel about flashbacks?
