I really want to write a book and I have started and stopped the process of writing one many many many times over. I've tried so many ways of starting the process. I like incorporating twists in my stories as well. My first few stories I have written with no outline, and it has only ended up bad. Here are the downsides:
1.) You don't know where the story is going to go which can lead to an interesting story and one that doesn't make sense.
2.) It's hard to make plot twists when you don't have the events in the story written down.
3.) Things get confusing; you end up not remembering important parts of the story.
BUT, the thing is, this way of writing always holds my interest and I don't lose sight of my finished project.
On the contrary, my last book I tried to outline. I outlined important plot pieces, twists, characters, deaths, timelines...it didn't go well.
I would end up psyching myself into writing because I didn't want to do it. Outlining was boring and it dragged on far...far too long.
So I need to find that perfect medium...and I wondered if anyone here could help
