Interesting. When I've written longer things like essays, I've used outlines but now, I'm writing mostly blog postings and I don't use an outline but of course, they're short pieces. They usually come from ideas that I have from past experiences and I seem to think about them a bit before taking to the computer, then the just seem to flow out. Of course I go over them about 3 times and rework them as I do. However, I would have definitely thought that to write a book, an outline would be a good tool.

Thanks for sharing your approach with us.

Hey Brian..

Please don't think I didn't write an outline because I thought I could do without...it was mainly because the story kept becoming more than I first thought it would be. I hope you are well...looking forward to meeting you some day!

Thank you for sharing your writing process with us Jack.  Maybe you can inspire others within our community to write a book of their own or to start their writing experience by sharing some of their stories within our Kamazooie community.

Hi Jack:

Thanks for your posting!  Maybe some day I'll try my hand.  BTW, I tried to get your book from Kobo but it doesn't look like its distributed there.  Are you aware if the electronic version from Amazon can be side-loaded onto a Kobo???

Hi Martin,

I hope you are having a day surrounded by some kind of wonder and hope....I hope you do find that hand...and create something someday!

..Yes Amazon is not supporting  anything other than what they own....but go to this  site....https://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/because-4

Thank you so much for the support and please share and tell me how you enjoy the book.

....open arms of hope

Jack

That got it Jack.  I don't know why I couldn't find it the first time. I think I was searching my own library and not the bookstore. Started reading and enjoying it :-)
