A Goodreads user asked Amy Harmon:

Hi Amy: I love your books and I was just wondering - how do you plot, plan and prep your novels? You bring so much emotional depth to your characters that I was wondering if you use index cards to outline? Also, when writing your first draft - do you write your scenes in a linear fashion? Or do you write the scenes however they come to you and then you string them together as you get closer to the end?

Amy Harmon I don't write in linear fashion at all. I write in pieces and scenes, and I don't outline. I think a lot about the story line and do a lot of character profiles and free writes, but I struggle to outline.
