This is FASCINATING to me!! I can't even wrap my head around writing that detailed of an outline, but I can see how it would be helpful! My process changes for every book, but is mostly that I let the characters and idea percolate for a while, and then once I can run the first part of the book in my head like a little movie I start writing. I'm always linear, and I almost always reach a point somewhere in the manuscript where I get a little stuck (which is probably where an outline would come in handy, huh?). Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing! So helpful to see someone else’s process! For my last novel I forced myself to spend a month just curating ideas in a notebook and NOT writing yet. It was totally new for me but found it really generative.
Did you see a typo earlier that is no longer there? No, no you did not. Shhhhh.

Love this. I’m about to send it to my writer discord. Pretty sure I did Steps 3/4 for Preptober/NaNoWriMo and it was really successful this year.
