Creative Outlet Question

When you start to write a story, do you ever think of the ending before you start writing.

I never think of the ending. Except for one fanfic but I didn't come up with the ending until after I wrote chapter two and realized I needed to think of something. My stories almost always just run on autopilot and I think of an ending usually near the end. I can't be the only person to do this.

I always try to plan the eniter story through start to finnish and write it all down in blue prin form so I know what I'm doing, and so I don't forget things. Then write it step by step, making the necssary changes as I go along.

But sometimes I just go with it and see what happens.

when i write, i tend to come up with the beginning and middle scenarios, but the ending is a flowing encounter. i never think about the ending until it actually comes around.

A few times I do, but most of the times I don't. I just let the story decide for itself, I guess you can say. :)

I think of the main plot of the story and then think of the ending. But yes, I know the ending of my story-as well as every aspect of the plot-before writing it.

Yeah, sometimes. It just depends what the inspiration is- sometimes I'll have an idea for the ending of something and sometimes a cool opening, and sometimes random characters

Definetly, because if you don't, your more likely to change your mind and your story might nnot be your best! Like in a test, if you guess, your first guess is more likely to be right!
