In editing the fourth draft of my novel, I am re-outlining it...and I'm doing it totally differently than I'd ever outlined before. My goal is to make the story as strong as humanly possible!

I'm using index cards! I'm writing out of order and backwards! I'm allowing myself to write-outline-write-outline the book in a sort of iteration. And...I am continuing to rush like crazy to meet my deadlines. Enjoy this extra-long writing vlog :)
