Outlining tips

Outlining can be painful, but it can also be one of the most fun things to do :)
I personally LOVE planning and plotting, and writing on the seat of my pants just doesn't work for me. So if you're like me (or if you're a pantser that would like to try something new), you'll love these links :)
