Book writing - Outline

The best way to write your book is to make an outline first. That means writing down your entire plot on one or two pages. Yes, the entire plot of your book, from beginning to end. And, yes, that means you have to be very short and to the point. Here you can see what works and what doesn't. It's easier to fix by rewriting some sentences than rewriting whole chapters later.

Some writers prefer just writing from the heart and don't care much for an outline. Try both ways yourself and see which fits you best.
