Some students have trouble writing essays in the traditional sense, moving from top to bottom. They struggle to get words on the pages this way, which causes them to take significantly longer to write whatever they need to write. If you’re going to school at one of the top online universities, you need to know how to write well and efficiently at the same time. This is crucial in a fast-paced degree program like the ones available on the web.
When I was in college, I actually wrote all of my essays in reverse, starting from the conclusion and working my way to the introduction. This may be unconventional, but it worked for me. Here are a few reasons why you may want to use reverse writing the next time you have to write an essay for college.
Making Sure the Conclusion Is Big
When I write for the web, I can’t spend a lot of time leading up to the point. I have to let people know what I’m talking about so they don’t move on to another website. In the case of college writing though, you actually want to do the opposite. You want to take people on a journey that eventually leads to a big conclusion. This is known as pyramid construction, and it is one of the most effective writing methods you could employ in college.
If you want to ensure that your conclusion is more powerful than anything else that you say, you may want to consider writing it first. That way you don’t have to worry about saying something powerful early on and then having nothing left to conclude your essay. Practice this a few times and you’ll see what I mean. It’s just easier to create the big bang from the start and then worry about the little details that precede it.
Creating Support for the Conclusion
When you have the conclusion in place, you already know where you are going with what you are saying. If you write from intro to conclusion, you may struggle at the end to wrap everything together. I think my essays flow together a lot better when I write them from bottom to top, but that may just be me. The only way you will know if you can have the same experience is to test this idea and see what happens.
Creating an Intro with a Hint..ro
I just had to put hintro in there. It was too punny to leave out Your introduction should be a statement that clearly defines your thesis and suggests where you may be going with it. It shouldn’t give away the conclusion because that defeats the purpose of the article. By writing in reverse, you will know what your big point is going to be so you can avoid revealing it too soon. You can just throw it out there casually and then reveal everything in the end. You may not be able to do this by writing the normal way.
Conclusion…Even This Article Has One
At the end of the day, I just think that reverse writing is more effective for getting a point across. You may have to work a little harder to get everything to flow this way, but you will at least have a solid foundation to work with. Try writing your conclusion, then your body, then your intro and see what happens for you. If everything works out well, you will end up with a killer essay that blows people’s minds.

I'm up all the time now.
Head up
Shoulders back
Legs slightly apart
Back straight.
I walk into the exam room,
Knowing inside my heart
That the ones who fear
Are the ones who do not succeed.
I sit down.
Confident,
I start my song
Of utmost elegance.
I use all my power
And strength.
I use all the dynamics in the world,
I use everything everyone's brought me.
I use all the good that everyone
Has given me
In my life.
Time goes slowly by.
I feel myself going along with the beat.
I am entranced in my own song.
It feels better than ever before.
I am done.
I walk over to the judges,
Shaking each hand.
I feel a sense of pride in my heart,
Knowing that I have done it now.
I truly have.

I am disappointed,
At the way things are moving along.
Why is everyone so private about
Everything?
I am disappointed,
That I have not met my dream yet.
It seems a long way until I will
Catch my dream in the sky.
I am disappointed,
With many people.
Not just me.
But mostly me.
Why am I being so selfish?
Why are other people being so unkind?
Everything seems in ruin,
Including me.
I am sorry that this is the way it must be
Today,
But I know that tomorrow is a new day,
Waiting for all of us to do good deeds.
And do we shall.

Hi. My name is Jake Gartner, and right now, basically a huge mutant serpent is coming to swallow me whole, tear me to pieces of flesh, so I have no time to talk right now. Oh, um...you want to follow me? Sure, just accept that everyday will be the best of the thrills. Right now, we are not getting any help from the immortal world, so just know that we have a horrible system of magic right now, and we have an extremely low supply of weapons, thus, the chance that you will get out of this mess is around eighty-six percent. (because of me, the master of war) Oh yeah, the serpent. Enough talk. (ROARS) Off to kill a mutant serpent!!! (stabs, deflects, cuts a gash in its head, dies) That's only our first one, trainee. Whatever your name is. Next time, I invite you to join with us on our battle. And it will be even more life-consuming, if you know what that means.
My name is Matt Downley, and I am a soccer player. I just moved here to New York, and I was just going to try out for the Weston Middle soccer team, when believe it or not, the principal came rushing down the halls and said that I couldn't play because I am disabled. WHAT THE HECK!!! Okay, I was like, "So here's the deal. I can't play. I can't do anything. What the freak am I supposed to do at this stupid school!!!" But, of course, I didn't have the guts to say that out loud to the principal, so I just muttered and said, "Okay." Lately, I feel like people have been stalking me when I came back from school. Everyday when I go to bed, I feel like people are looming in the shadows above me. I didn't know now, but tonight would be a night of extreme danger.
What scandalous secrets can adults keep from their parents? I need ideas for a book I am currently writing. It is about how some secrets adults keep from us can actually save our lives. I hope to give you a sneak preview of my book which is called The Deadly Truth. Can't wait for your opinions!

You can believe the first chapter of my book will be posted either this week or next Friday.

It probably took you a while to learn the 26 letters of the alphabet back when you started school. But actually, you should count yourself lucky. Some languages use alphabets with many more letters than that. Russian, for example, has 33 letters, and the Khmer language of Cambodia has over 70. And in China and Japan, where they write with signs called 'characters', there are hundreds, even thousands of different shapes to remember. Japanese primary school children are expected to learn about a thousand characters before they can go on to high school!
