My first book, BLOOD AUDIT, I wrote without an outline and there were many starts and stops, fits and stumbles. It took forever. My second book, A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEBT, I did a basic outline, sitting in an airport somewhere, on my iphone. The mere fact that it had a simple outline, gave me a direction and helped prevent to many stumbles. The time savings between the first book and second book was quite noticeable.

If you are suffering from writers block, my advice is to just keep writing, even if it is just a few sentences each day. You can always go back and fix it. As you write, you will start to see the solutions to your problems.

I believe it was William Faulkner who said, "kill your darlings." There is great power in throwing obstacles at a character and seeing what they do, morally, physically, spiritually, or emotionally.(less)
