Outlining Your Novel: Map Your Way to Success by K.M. Weiland
5.0
This was a fantastic book for me.
I've been writing for years. I've dabbled in outlining after years of pantsing it. This book gave me direction. It had plenty of interviews with authors to vouch for the outlining process as well as plenty of examples from Ms. Weiland practicing what she was preaching.
One surprising takeaway was character interviews. I don't know why it didn't dawn on me to fully flesh out my characters and in doing so help connect the dots between major plot points, but it didn't. I've got a lot of work to do but feel much more confident I'm on the right path after reading this book.
