Makes sense to me! And honestly, I can do all the character development I want beforehand, but those plans rarely survive the drafting process; I get to know them better & details inevitably change. Sometimes big ones that derail my outline... #WeeknightWriters

Oooh yes! We can learn SO much about character development by studying psychology, and develop great characters by focusing on their psychology #WeeknightWriters

Honestly, that ghost is probably a better parent than a lot of fictional parents... and also real parents... #WeeknightWriters

Lots of folks have that same struggle! And I used to struggle with outlining more than a little bit too (I did always have a few events in mind, including the ending, but everything else? Not so much)

It's been a slow evolution into a True Planner for me
