Why not take a leap and see what faith brings to you. Start writing a story from the middle, work your way back or forward. Not that no one have try it, even movie, Star Wars, it start showing the ending than only the show the origin of the story. Jump into a story, regardless of where you land, feel the moment and than only work your way around to find out how it start or end. Try open a book and read the middle pages first than only read the rest of it.
To follow a certain pattern and live for so long that life is getting boring. Try something different for a change. Walk into a room without knowing what is in there, write a story by placing pieces of story around and only link it afterward. Try not to follow a certain set of pattern to do or work out something, forget bout the step or 1,2,3 and start going in through 5,99,76 .
Even the Man of Steel movie is doing something different. Not about the red underwear but the way the movie was. show the present and cut into parts and pieces of the history of superman was he was young. This movie that does not follow from young till he grow up pattern is a hit. Try not to follow a set of pattern and experience the unexpected event that follow.
