This week's topic has been a real eye opener at how differently we each go about things. <br /><br />thanks for stopping byMeka Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592225193233705022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775652771554156477.post-14964420887884023532017-03-19T13:48:27.211-04:002017-03-19T13:48:27.211-04:00That's one way to do it, write first then do t...That's one way to do it, write first then do the outline after. Most times for me the outline was due before the paper so I never worked backwards like that. <br /><br />thanks for stopping byMeka Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592225193233705022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775652771554156477.post-10467873594765156662017-03-18T15:58:33.713-04:002017-03-18T15:58:33.713-04:00I don't outline as such, but I'm much bett...I don't outline as such, but I'm much better off if I figure out at least the major turning points. They serve as guide posts along the way to keep me on track so I don't sprain my wrist stumbling into rabbit holes. The whole idea of turning points has led me to research the kind of turning points other people have found to be important, and that in turn has led me into doing more and more plotting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775652771554156477.post-23083528599929174352017-03-18T10:11:31.811-04:002017-03-18T10:11:31.811-04:00I hated outlining in school.

Any organization I did (if some was needed behond what was in my head) was shuffling my notes around on the floor.

I know the beginning and what I think will be the end, but the rest is a mystery until my characters have their say (and my ending may change, too).
