Beth Harbison:
Do you plot out all the events in your books? Just curious how much planning you do as a novelist? It seems such a Herculean task!!!
Beth Harbison
Diana, I don't know how this went so long unseen! I'm so sorry! The answer is yes, I plan everything...then everything changes. It IS Herculean and often I think I can't do it, usually when I'm about halfway through doing it.
All that said, the only time I get slowed down or stuck writing is when I don't know what action is coming next, so the more I detail it in advance, the better.
