Outline

Read Ephesians 1-3

Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

Some writers work without an outline and others couldn’t start a piece without it. An outline may be easier for writers of nonfiction to create because the information is fact based and not imagination based.

However, writers of creative nonfiction may run into some of the same issues fiction writers have. Whether we’re making an outline or writing as we go, we still have to think up what comes next.

Since the creating is the same whether we are writing an outline or a manuscript, it may seem more efficient to forget about making an outline and just write. But when we start with an outline, changes are easier to implement right away and a thorough enough outline makes writing the first draft seem more like the first polish of an already written draft.
