The Writer's Chatroom Topic Chat: Writing Without An Outline
Published: Wed, 10/23/13

(Thanks to Kathy Frost for tonight's topic)
Steven James is a writer after my own heart. He says:
"When I was in school and a teacher would assign us to write an outline for a story, I'd finish the story first, then go back and write the outline so I'd have something to turn in. Even as a teenager I thought outlining was counterintuitive to the writing process."
Words of joy for pantsters. We're not alone! And we're not crazy. Or at least, less crazy than we thought we were. (James has three dozen published books, is a best-seller and award winner.)
Tonight, let's talk about the article, and compare pantster notes.
We'll take any other questions you may have in the second hour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We look forward to chatting with you!
