Traditional outlines don't work for me, either, but I often find myself "working ahead," jotting down notes and phrases I want to use along the way. Kind of like leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for myself to follow.<BR/><BR/>For the record, I am basil.annohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102616203481686227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-62877710715598559612008-02-20T07:58:00.000-05:002008-02-20T07:58:00.000-05:00I enjoy "seeing" how other authors work.
