Why read it?
1 author picked Outlining Your Novel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I am not a plotter. I have always wished I was. But nope, sorry, Gwen. That said, this is still an amazing book. Even if you are a discovery writer (sometimes called pantster for writing by the seat of your pants), thinking about your plot in terms of pacing, story elements, backstory, characterization, and setting…and thinking about them in a logical way is beneficial.
Kudos if you can write it down in a notebook before you start drafting. That’s not in my wheelhouse.
From Gwen's list on for next-level novelists.
