Now I spend at least 20-30% of my writing time coming up with a good outline. I write one section at a time, and when I get to a stopping point I look at the title of my next section so my subconscious mind can be working on the content for it before my next writing session.(less)

My writing is my art, a creative outlet that allows me to be or do anything and live in a world where I get to experience total freedom and control. I write for myself, but it's an added bonus if at least one person reads and enjoys my book.(less)
