Of writing strategies and writers

(Anonymous) 2015-11-07 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
I can respect Stephen King as a writer and admit he's good but his comment about outlining annoyed me.

"Outlines are the last resort of writers who wish to God they were writing a Master thesis"

No, outlines are a legitimate strategy of people who like to know where they're story is going. They are a different method, not a "last resort". Plenty of good novels have been written by outliners.

Not everyone is a pantser, Mr. King.

I guess I'm just sick of writers who get all smug and act like their method is the One True Way because , hey they're a published writer. Lots of people are published writers and lots of people have written them in varied ways.

I'm guessing it was a flippant remark made by someone who has a different way of approaching their work. I don't outline either, but that's because it just doesn't work for me. I wish it did. Though King shouldn't be too smug, some of his novels are horribly bloated with endings that fall flat. Some outlining (and judicious editing) would improve them.

It's not like your outline is set in stone. You can start with one and then change things later if you come up with other ideas. You can sit on a story for a while if you followed the outline, but it doesn't feel right.
