Writing from an outline

8/25/2012

1 Comment

 
Anytime I begin writing a new book I struggle with the question of whether or not to write from an outline. The problem with an outline is that it tends to make the writing of the book less exciting. There is a whole field of possibilities for a story without an outline. For one thing you don't know the ending yet. And that makes it exciting.

But without one I don't have direction. So while I am starting to write Full Harvest Moon I am faced once again with that very issue. This time I have decided to start without an outline.

What do you think?

    Richard's first two books in the Cooper Mystery Series, Cooper's Moon and Blood Moon Rising will have a grand finale coming out this summer, 2020...In this next book, A Cold Copper Moon, readers will learn what happened to Detective Cooper's son, Maxie. Remember? Max disappeared 8 years ago. I promise I'll give you ample clues, but the end provides quite a twist! Let's see if you can figure it out... I doubt it. No early readers have so far.
