When I worked on my trilogy I had an outline as wells as a "Harlan Universe Bible" that had a map, timeline, dates, character sketches, etc. that I refered to as needed. And let's not even mention the post-it notes filled with inspiration! I'm doing the same thing for the current project, and so far so good. I can see, however, how my system would drive a more organized person insane.Kelly Swailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08712523963592799928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-80396818076862146282007-03-30T11:27:00.000-05:002007-03-30T11:27:00.000-05:00Agreed.

I had diagrams of familial relations and timelines for the history of my world sketched out on 2x3 foot paper and tacked up around my writing space. Not outlines in any sense that we're talking about here, but functioning in a very similar way. That was what worked for me, though I also had written up a working outline similar to what we've discussed out front.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
