Mr. Jordan, do you outline your books before you begin writing them?

Robert Jordan

Yes, and no. At the beginning of a book, I make a list of the major events that that book will cover. I’ve known from the beginning all the events I wanted to cover and the last scene of the last book in detail. I could have written that one fifteen years ago. I know exactly where I’m going, you see. The list that I make always has to be pared down though, because I always believe i can fit more into a novel than I can find room to fit.
