Have you ever been reading a book and you come across something that just stops you cold? And than you wonder how will I review this now?
That has happened to me on a few occasions. But I never read one that on writing that did that to me.
My current book, to read and review, said basically to try to not be a pantser. You will paint yourself into a corner without having a outline and will be stuck.
I’m a pantser. I rarely do outlines. They slow me down and to be honest I do better to just sitting down, writing and than figuring it out later. I know I am not the only one.
I get why someone might say that especially if that is what has happened to you or you know someone who has experience that. It is not everyone’s way of writing.
I get it. I do.
Still, the fact that this book was basically putting writers who do this in the corner and going, “No, no and I said no,” made me riled up.
There is a place for both in the world of writing. To think that ever single person who is a writer will outline I find not plausible. There is room for both of us.
How will I review this book? I suspect exactly how I do all reviews. I will give a synopsis of the book and afterwards will write what I feel readers should know about it.
