It changes as I write, but if I don't have a solid outline, I am lost when I start to write. Your new book sounds awesome...love the concept!Alicia Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003539473772776004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-33685167802708351442017-07-27T12:46:37.290-04:002017-07-27T12:46:37.290-04:00That would be fun--commenting on human behavior. ...That would be fun--commenting on human behavior. :-) Enjoy!

My rough drafts look more like scripts than novels until I add more than just stage directions. I see my stories like movies and write them that way. Then I go back and fill in the details, emotions, descriptions, etc. This would drive some writers crazy. Whatever works. Best wishes on this project, JL.
