The determination it takes to figure out a story is beyond tough. Outlines are good, but don't think for a second everything gets worked out in the outline. Sure you might find that you hit those beats when it comes to page count, but don't be surprised that when you're in the thick of it a lot of that outline will become altered and certain plot points will turn out to be way off. The characters will decide that with each new draft. When they finally speak to you and tell you... the writer... what they should say, do, and how they should react. ARTISAN JAMES
