Mastering Reverse Plotting: Building Stronger Stories Backwards

In this episode of The Scribe Vibe with Janae, we dive into the powerful writing technique of reverse plotting—a method where you start with the ending and work your way backwards to build a more cohesive, tightly-woven story. We explore how reverse plotting can help improve your narrative structure, enhance foreshadowing, and create more dynamic character arcs. You’ll also hear practical tips for implementing reverse plotting in your writing, handling subplots, and balancing flexibility with structure.

In the Writer’s Talk with Janae segment, we’re joined by special guest Cathy Fyock, author of Writer Crisis Hotline. Cathy shares valuable insights into overcoming creative blocks, managing burnout, and how to keep your writing momentum going even in the face of challenges.
