Do you ever write the ending first?

On occasion, I take time to write short fiction stories. And, I like knowing where the story will go, so I write the ending first, rather than struggling with the opening scene.

Then I can simply write all the scenes and parts of the story that led up to it. Knowing the end helps to keep me on track so that every action the characters take moves them clearly toward the final goal.

When the story is completed, I edit the final scene so it blends in with the rest of the story.
