Much like it can be challenging to break the inertia writing, outlining is much the same way. Honestly, breaking the inertia outlining is even more challenging.
Writing is sexy.
Writing is what we writers went into the business to do. We didn’t really go into it to sit in a chair
with a spiral notebook and try to play out the story in our head before writing
it. It feels like daydreaming/wasting
time, and it can be annoying. I know
it’s necessary, but writing is what I want to do. Unfortunately, if I don’t outline, I’ll hit a
wall, and then writing will become both chaotic and unsexy. Think of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
Edition turning to an old copy of Better Homes and Gardens. Not the way most of us want to spend our
time.
