Looking for some advice. Has anyone tried writing a novel from the resolution and wrote backwards? I'm currently working on my new WIP, and so far have reached 35,000 words and I'm at a block, and haven't written anything for weeks. Its not that I don't know what will happen, I have a vague idea of plot (I'm a pantster), and know exactly how my finale is going to happen. I just haven't worked out the details of getting my MC from B to C.
However, I do know the details of the climax between the MC and the antagonist. I started writing the final chapters to night and it was great, I could write all night (if I wasn't going to work tomorrow .) So I began to wonder whether I should try writing the story back over until I reach the point where I was blocked.
Has anyone else tried writing like this? I don't mind if it isn't seamless (that is what draft 2 is for.) Was it successful?
Thanks in advance.
