On becoming an outline writer

As of today, I have finished a rough sketch of my outline of Never.

I will probably mess about with the outline a bit more tomorrow, especially the ending, but as it stands, I have a framework for this book that makes sense.  Whether it stays the same once I start writing it another thing entirely, of course.

I am going to take a little time to do some more reading about story structure before I start writing in earnest.  This is a very different process for me (and probably one that many people would disagree with).  I’ve always been an organic writer, and given enough time, I prefer writing that way.  But as we all know, time is a thing that I don’t have an excess of these days.

I’m actually really enjoying trying something different.  We’ll see if it pans out once I start the actual writing.
