How to Write by the Seat of Your Pants: Outline or No?
I have only used an Outline in one of my seven current books. I used the outline due to the series of events went back and forth between the past and present and the outline helped me keep the flow. When I start a book I begin writing until I run out of what I have running through my head at that time. Normally my book will be about sixty pages of events that lead up to a finale. At that point, I start at the beginning and fill in the spots of the stories leading up to each event. That seems to be easier for me because I will think of an ending before I can determine the middle piece on how to reach that conclusion. The outline I used for Curves in the Road helped me keep up with where I was in the timeline but I haven't felt that any of my other stories needed it. I feel like it is a personal preference. Some people cannot work without an Outline, I'm more of a play it by ear story teller. Most of my stories have begun with one ending in mind and end up taking a completely different turn than I originally planned.
