If one ever does forgo an outline (I'm not sure if this is ever done), you'd probably have to revise the entire thing a lot, such that you're imposing an outline anyway.
- syngrog66 5y agobingo. agreed. been bit by that a lot, esp when younger haha. my 1st book had no outline. my 2nd and 3rd books both have outlines. while still trying to keep the baby, minus the bathwater. I like the results, and the total sunk LOE much much better. related semi-tangent: with fiction I also adopted the rule to write the Ending first. because, for me at least, it then crystallizes what sorts of Middles and Beginnings might lead to it, and make the most sense or have the biggest emotional impact on the reader. which then practically paints out the character journeys for you, as the author. very helpful tactic
