Thanks Melanie. Four years of experience of writing blogposts and newsletters is helping here. I am treating each chapter as a blog post.

James Patterson has files and files of handwriting ideas. He has half a dozen file cabinets full.

Thanks for sharing this I had no idea about his short paragraph style I’m not one of his readers.

Interesting contrast on outlining. I lack in this and just realized I’m better at writing realizing my outline from that

We all find out what works best for us overtime. What I find is interesting that our style changes too. I was an outliner, or that I was. Now I am not. I think probably my outline process is embedded in me and I do it unconsciously.
