“I always have a basic plot outline, but I like to leave some things to be decided while I write.” – J. K. Rowling
“I write on big yellow legal pads – ideas in outline form when I’m doing stand-up and stuff. It’s vivid that way. I can’t type it into an iPad – I think that would put a filter into the process.” – Robin Williams
“If you do enough planning before you start to write, there’s no way you can have writer’s block. I do a complete chapter by chapter outline.” – R. L. Stine
“Animals outline their territories with their excretions, humans outline their territories by ink excretions on paper.” – Robert Anton Wilson
“I am a writer who works from an outline. What I generally do when I build an outline is I find focal, important scenes, and I build them in my head and I don’t write them yet, but I build towards them.” – Brandon Sanderson
