an idea


also, i had an idea yesterday that warrants its own post.

i think it would be interesting to write a book on a blog, starting with the last chapter.

i say this because, well, sometimes if i am reading a blog it will have this annoying reverse narrative (this post and the following, for a poor example).

this could work work well for people that discover this work after it is complete.

but what about the people that begin reading before the beginning is finished?

well, it might be interesting in its own right. using time as a variable storytelling device, that is. for that matter, you could write the book from beginning to end for an opposite but nearly equal effect, though i think it would be more interesting to write a book backwards.

think films such as "momento", "primer", and even "pulp fiction" in a broad sense.

there may be books that do this too, but none spring to mind.
