I make a chapter-by-chapter, scene-by-scene outline of the book as it's written to help me see where the pace is slow or where I've gone off the tracks in some other way.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-1067139733441061622012-04-15T09:53:22.287-05:002012-04-15T09:53:22.287-05:00I make all sorts of lists.

(That's about as much of an outline as I'm capable of.) When I revise, I also make a list of details that might not be quite right or might be different later on and I need to make sure they match. Lists are fun!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by DSD today, Linda. I am so honored to have you as our guest and I can't wait for your book to hit shelves!Joelle Charbonneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608552691748018256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-38985044058380877782012-04-15T09:52:47.414-05:002012-04-15T09:52:47.414-05:00Indeed, they certainly can be if we learn from the...Indeed, they certainly can be if we learn from them.
