The Hidden Danger Lurking in Your Lengthy Outline—And How It Could Ruin Your Writing
So you got carried away writing the synopsis for your novel and now it’s too long. What do you do? Did you waste your effort? How do you use all that material? And how does all this fit into my wildly popular Snowflake Method?
Lindsey posted this question on my “Ask A Question For My Blog” page:
Hi Randy,
I am a first time novel writer and I find your snowflake method very helpful. I completed steps 1 through 3 fairly confidently and was excited to move onto step 4. I wound up getting too caught up in details and writing nearly SIX PAGES of story line. The worst part? I haven’t even gotten to my story’s first disaster yet.
