James Todd Lewis
Here's what I do...
1) Summarize what I’ve written so far – short sentences, not paragraphs; five or six at the most per chapter.
2) Pick what the main story lines will be for the rest of the book (big actions, big targets, big goals).
3) Work on outlining them as separate stories.
4) Interleaving those separate stories in a plan for the future chapters of the book will give me the direction I’m missing and grant me new and exciting opportunities!
