I know I should start in the middle, as Angie says, but I also know that there's this mystery I'm obsessed with that churns out in the writing as the plot progresses. Even if I think I know what's going to happen, the reason I'm writing the story is to figure out how it's going to happen differently. What do these people want from eachother? What do they want to say to eachother? I want to write the perfect beginning, keep going, and be forced to re-write the beginning due to what happens. It would be easier, surely, to skip the re-write steps and just write the thing.
