Carrie, what a thrill to find your Like on my blog! THANK YOU! How did you find your way to my blog? I am honored and seeing your Like made my day. Love,
Hilary
p.s. It’s Hilary Illick again — I realize I am writing a private comment on your public page, just because I am not sure how else to contact you. I am new to social media as of this fall and SUPER impressed with your large following! Way to go!!
Someone retweeted your post on Twitter, and I discovered your blog that way. I enjoyed reading your post. Thank you for the follow. I look forward to reading more of your posts!
Debby brought to my attention that I posted my review of her book on Amazon.ca. I wondered if I’d done the same with your books so I went back and posted on amazon.com.
Thank you. I appreciate you reading it. I learned the hard way how important an outline can be. Now I don’t write without one. Weird–in my academic writing, I always used a good outline. Not sure why I initially thought it should be different for fiction!
I have not used outlines in the past, although I can see their value after reading your post. My experiences with 2 NANOs has been that I veer into interesting places that I didn’t expect, or think of, once I started writing a story. I don’t know if I would have arrived there if I followed a hard & fast outline. I will have to try it your way and see what happens.
The cool thing is, I never get boxed in. I still often veer into new directions, but it helps if I have a structure in place should I deviate. But I once wrote a short story by the seat of my pants once, and that was lots of fun!
Thank you so much! What a wonderful review. You made my day. Just tweeted it. I’m so glad you enjoyed the book. Thank you again for taking the time to write up a review. I know how busy life is, so I really appreciate it!

You should put these words on a pillow, Carrie. I really like what you have to say in your latest article on the benefits of outlining a novel.

I’m doing my best not to exhibit contempt prior to investigation concerning outlines. I’ll let you know how it turns out after I try it.

How nice to hear! I’m so glad you liked it. And thank you in advance for the review. You’re very kind to take the time.
Hope you’re doing well. I imagine stepping away from Twitter has at least given you a few more minutes back each day. 🙂
