Hey there, Savannah here. Before we get into today's episode, I wanted to share our next book

pick with you because I'm super excited to dig into this book and see how and why it works.

Our next meeting is coming up on November 16th at 4 p.m. Pacific, 7 p.m. Eastern, and we're going to be

digging into the fourth wing by Rebecca Yarrows.

Abigail and I are so excited to deconstruct this book and these meetings are always so much fun.

They're interactive so in addition to our presentation on why we think this story works

and why we think it resonates with readers, there are also polls and lots of opportunities to chat with other

writing right away. So if you want to join us or if you want to learn more about how the book club works, go to

outline at the beginning of the writing process and then they abandon it after they

start writing or when things change dramatically instead I want you to try to use your outline as a way to capture new ideas or notes about the changes you want to make to scenes that you've already written.

You can even use your outline to work through how those new ideas or changes might ripple out and affect other parts of your story too.

So not only will this help you stay organized and test out new ways forward, but it's also going to allow

you to build a sense of internal logic in your story too.

I want to prove to you that writing a novel doesn't have to be
