After a month of work I have finished the outline for my next novel and typed it up so I don’t lose it on my computer. I’m taking a few days off before starting the actual writing. Though I write a detailed outline, often the finished novel only superficially resembles that outline.
I’ve heard writers say they wrote a novel in just a week, or even just a weekend. I have not read the final product of these works, but I assume that they read like junk that someone wrote in three days…
So for now I am kicking back and relaxing, and I will be in touch again next week.
