The beginning of the project is introductory. Because it presents the reader with the setting, the characters, the mood, the issues, and all the other important dynamics of the story, it necessarily skims the surface. Writing and plotting the beginning of a story are like meeting people for the first time. We wonder if the other people like us. We wonder if we like them. We show only so much of ourselves, as we determine how we feel about these other persons. We are in control––and being in control at the beginning sounds far superior to being out of control in the middle and the end, places where you must dig deeply into emotions.
In the middle of a story, things get messy as the relationships between the characters develop. Scenes show them as they truly are—warts and all. For writers who like things nice and neat, the middle is an uncomfortable place to linger for very long. It’s much nicer to go back to familiar territory.
Going back over what you have already written is easier than coming up with something entirely new.
