“I work sometimes from outlines, which are immediately abandoned. Sometimes, when I'm trying to find the characters, I'll sketch things out a bit. Sometimes, outlines help me aim a little bit, but I tend to find it's usually much more interesting, especially with the first draft, to spew it onto the page. I used to get very nervous that, if I write this first rough draft and I die that night, whoever finds it might think that I thought it was good. For me, it's much more important to get some general shape onto the page and later take all the time I need to refine it, fix it, and rewrite it.” IfsThinkingNeedsWritingTryingFirstsLittlesImportantSometimesCharacterHelpingMightUsedNightDiesBitsInterestingShapesLittle BitPagesAimNervousCraftsHelp MeRoughAbandonedOutlinesRough Drafts Author:Paul Rudnick
