REVERSE WRITING (# 74,953)

Write the title last. We may be onto something here. Many films and books fail in the predictability of their ending. You smell it coming. If they were written back to front, scene by scene, screenplay writers and novelists could avoid letting their audience down. People could die in more imaginative ways. Consequences could lead to less obvious actions. Effect could finally drive the car with Cause in the back. The result might be a wonderful dislocation of logic, surprising the viewer/reader far more frequently than the traditional method.  Now, where did I put that epilogue?
