Write a short story with a beginning, a middle and an ending. Make it at least three paragraphs or one page in length. Then swap the beginning of your story with the ending. So that your first paragraph is now your last.
How does the story read now? Some things will be confusing and yet… does it work better this way? When I write an essay and look back at my rough draft, often, my conclusion is much stronger, clearer and better overall than my introduction. By switching them out and then making some adjustments I can build a stronger written piece. Try it a few times yourself.
