I am a new-ish author. I've written a lot of books, but they've never been published. Anyway, for this new book I'm about to write the first scene is a flash-forward to the end of the book. I really want to write the rest of the book in present tense, is there a way I can write that flash-forward scene so it is in the future and the rest of my book is present? Also what would be a good transition from future to present? Because "let me start from the beginning" is so movie-like.
