Easy to change an outline. Hard to write a whole draft.
It’s common sense, really. I’ve always lacked common sense. So naturally, I’ve never thought of this.
I’m not much of an outliner. More of a dive-right-in and then realize what needs to be changed seventy pages in, and so then I return to page 1 and change it. And change it again. Sometimes I write short, quick revision notes under a chapter heading or at the end of a scene. But really, isn’t there just the perfect place for it on an outline?
Also, John Hildebrand makes an amazing shiitake mushroom soup.
