Absolutely! Although it can sometimes be difficult to catch small inconsistencies when you're so close to the story, especially if you're writing a super novel or long series. This is where a good beta reader can come in, or for those who don't like using beta readers, a story bible can be a great tool to keep a record of the details. Thanks for commenting!

You're very welcome! Please let me know if there are any other aspects of novel writing you find challenging and I'll make a video about it. Good luck with your novel!

Absolutely! I used to believe that following an outline took the joy out of writing because it took away the surprise of fun ideas coming to me during the writing stage. However, without an outline, I often wrote myself into a corner, and could never see a way out. This led to lots of abandoned manuscripts. Now, I just write a couple of sentences for each chapter or scene so that doesn't happen anymore, but the outline is not so detailed as to take away the enjoyment of writing the story. I think with outlines as with writing in general, you just have to find what works for you. There's no one size fits all. Thanks for commenting!

@@tammythomasuk True!

Thanks for the catch
