I'm going to try outlining the rest of the book today. Normally I don't outline, or if I do it's only for a chapter or two. I usually like to wing it as I go along, and I feel like that helps keep the story spontaneous for me, and makes room for elements that I didn't know when I started but figure out along the way. On the opposite end of the spectrum are people like to do very detailed outlines, to the point where they're almost doing a prose story board for the book before they write it.

There are a lot of writing advice blogs and books that talk about how you should plot and outline and the right way and the wrong way etc. I think everybody writes differently and whatever produces a finished piece of work at the end of the process is the right way for you.

And I got super glue on my fingers this morning trying to fix a broken bottle stopper, go me.

If you didn't see my update yesterday, I have patellar tendonitis, which is much, much better than a lot of things I could have had. I don't have to stop aerobics but do have to go to physical therapy for three weeks, and take a lot of aleve for a while.
