Fountain of Knowledge

Yeah, makes total sense...

I don't see why the MRU concept needs that much attention, really. Maybe if it doesn't come naturally for a writer... but they must be pretty lost in the first place if they're writing backwards. I would never think to write, '"Hello?" she said, her heart racing. She bolted upright as her door eased open.' That just...doesn't make much sense ...and a reader would have to piece it together starting from the end and moving to the beginning. Something has to motivate the character to respond because that's how life works. We don't react to things before they happen...so why would anybody think to write as if we do? I'm not a pro writer by any means but it just seems sort of obvious, like I said before. I don't understand the emphasis on it...do you?

I guess if it doesn't help me, it doesn't help me. I'm just worried I'm missing something.
