Thanks for the heads up about the quote! Don’t know how we missed that. 🙂

Also, while the outline might not write the story for you, it CAN make your writing much more focused and help you save tons of time you might have spent exploring tangents that ended up on the cutting room floor.

Also, the “fail better” quote comes from Samuel Beckett, not Thomas Beckett
