Do you think that you’re a slow writer? That it just takes so long to get the words onto paper.
You’re not alone.

Does that sound like you?
And if that's how you feel about outlining, how scary is it that when we rewrite, we should rewrite every single word? (Except the ones we take out, of course!) But go over every last thing to perfect it? Yikes!
Read MoreIf you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for ways to help you write!
Maybe you’re trying to make the time to write. Maybe there are things about the writing process that just baffle and aggravate you.
Writing is a difficult process, full of more difficult processes than meet the eye!

This one is for you, plotters!
