So much has been written and said about novel outlined over the years that I had, until recently, never considered it worthwhile to do so myself, beyond occasionally mentioning that I did outline my books–with fairly lengthy outlines.

It’ll be a little complicated, obviously, by the fact that I am not yet published, so there’s no way to truly see the finished product.Continue reading “Creating a Non-Human Character and Species”
