it is something to think about maybe even try it ---if it does not work you have lost nothing ---but I found it particularly helpful writing chapter three---as I scribbled little notes about chapter 2 on the orginal---and so on with other chapters---each of us will do things differently ---Most courses insist that you use an outline----this one does not ----some people can keep this all in their head ----remember all the details from chapter to chapter without having to go back an reread the chapters---I find I can not--but I usually do not use a very structured outline unless I am writing a non fiction story ---then I do use an out line --only to keep facts straight and reference material at hand
