It's nice, but not essential, to have a kind of guideline, but it's never strictly adhered to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335891198527972962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-90022849528374341292010-05-15T17:21:34.215-06:002010-05-15T17:21:34.215-06:00I do not outline.I kinda know what's going to ...I do not outline.I kinda know what's going to happen in the story.

The most outlining I do is notes scribbled in the margins about what might come next until I have at least half a draft. Then I MIGHT make a list of potential high points for the second half. Writing from a detailed plan would totally sap my desire to write the book. You might say my first draft is the outline.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-78991413047815569212010-05-15T09:38:12.925-06:002010-05-15T09:38:12.925-06:00Great post, I really enjoyed listening to Sherrily...Great post, I really enjoyed listening to Sherrilyn talking about her books.<br />I plan. Global, book, chapter right down to the sections within the chapters. Then I write. If the improvements occur while I'm writing though I am happy to be flexible.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.com
