Lifewriting: Write for Your Life!
The Battle Over Outlines: Buzzkill or Game Changer?
Show Notes

In this episode, Steve and Tananarive take on The Great Debate around outlining. Do you outline before you write?  Or are you a "pantser," someone who flies by the seat of their pants and makes it up as you go? They have tried both - and believe writers must follow their bliss.  But whether you write nonfiction, fiction or screenplays, they talk about  the benefits of outlining, especially for writers who want to work in Hollywood - and strategies to make it more fun. Plus, a voicemail from a happy listener!
