Some reasons why I nearly always begin a plot workshop, consultation, presentation at the Climax:

  • Fresh start 
  • Shakes things up
  • Pulls writers out of their comfort zone
  • Forces writers to move beyond the character's backstory into the real story
  • Key elements reveal themselves at the end&nbsp
  • Beginning emerge from the end
  • When you know how your story ends, you are better able to determine where to begin
  • Most writers write the beginning 100 times and are lucky if they write the climax even once
  • Writing the end seals the promise you can write from the beginning and get there
  • The climax becomes the beacon that guides you to finish
