Interview with Jana Richards, Author of THE GIRL MOST LIKELY
THE GIRL MOST LIKELY. Author of 7 books, Jana has been creating stories in her head all of her life–sometimes about real people but more often about people she made up. It wasn’t until she was in her thirties that she began to put her stories down on paper. She’s been at it for more than fifteen years, although she’s just recently become published in novel length fiction. Jana says, “Just think of me as the poster child for perseverance!”
She lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada with her husband Warren, two university age daughters, and a highly spoiled Pug/Terrier cross named Lou. Jana also grows Lupins, Icelandic poppies and grapes in a tough environment, so it’s no surprise she has succeeded in writing in a competitive publishing world. Jana has generously agreed to provide a free e-copy of THE GIRL MOST LIKELY for one reader. All you have to do is comment or ask a question at the end of this interview to be entered to win.

Jana Richards on Plotting and Outlining
Writing an outline for the plot of a novel is a little like planning a trip. It helps you figure out what direction your novel is going to take and what your major plot points are going to be, but still allows room for creativity.
What is outlining?
It’s writing out all the events of your plot from the beginning of your novel until the end. There are many ways to outline. You can do a quick set of notes on one page, write out scenes on index cards, scribble the highlights about each scene on Post-it notes that you can change and move around, or complete comprehensive scene-by-scene analysis that you keep in separate binders. There’s no wrong way to outline, just the right way for each individual writer.
