"Most writers will create an outline and start pounding out a draft. But Klinkenborg does neither. Outlines, he says, are not only a waste of time, but they also harm our writing. How, he wonders, can we presume to know what we're going to write before we write it?"

"I was a real outliner... the real price was, the writing was always boring, because I had already mapped out what I was going to say. There was no energy left, and no excitement left in the prose itself."
