As an aspiring writer I love picking the brain of published authors. My question to you is, how much do you outline before you begin writing? I’ve read some interviews where some authors, (Stephen King for example) does it all in his head and then writes from what he remembers, then others seem to outline almost every detail and then fill in the dialogue as they go. Do you lean one way or the other, or are you completely different in how you approach the pre-writing preparation? Thanks so much.
I’ve answered this several places. Here is one of them. If you search for “outline” and “discovery” you’ll find some other things I’ve said. However, on a scale of Outline to No Outline my worlds are on the far left, my plots in the middle, and my characters on the right.
