Description

Your Hosts: Brandon, Piper, Dan, and Howard

Our listeners had questions about outlining and discovery writing. Here are a few of the very best:

Do you outline scenes? How?
How do you know when to STOP outlining something?
How much do you have to know about your character and/or world before you start writing?
What do you to to diagnose and fix a structural problem with a discovery-written draft?
What do you do to 'get into' an outline that you're struggling with.
Are each of your projects similar in terms of procedure?
What are some major indicators that a piece needs more structural work?

Soundbite moment: DAN: "I had to learn the difference between a story, and a bunch of stuff that happens."

Credits: this episode was recorded in Cosmere House Studios by Dan Dan the Audioman Thompson, and mastered via great mastery by Alex Jackson
