You remember basic algebra, right?
3 x X= 18
Most of us, trying to be fair this is a site for writing and reading short stories, will know that X equals 6.
Well, writing a story is a lot like that equation above.
3 – is the idea we have
X – is how we tell the story
18 – is the ending.
When you know the ending, finding X is a lot easier than: 3 x X = ?
Knowing an ending creates momentum and incentive to our writing. Everything we write is building towards it.
Some endings manifest themselves and those are sometime the most rewarding ones. But sometimes, what stands in our way is not knowing where a story is heading.
If you know your ending before you start, it makes writing X a lot easier.
