"I don't use alot of outlines since I let my stories flow on it's own pace. Outlines can summarize the stories plot but when you try to change them, you'll end up with a new plot that you need to rewrite. So I always first identify the main point such as the characters, settings, and intentions. And also make sure to have a backup plot, incase you don't like the way your story outline going."
Although it's poorly written I thought the intention behind it was good. I believe this is someone who does write and believes strongly in their process. Probably someone inexperienced, maybe a kid, but still with a sincere opinion opposed to my own. I may not agree with it, but I'm not the God of Writing, so okay. And a backup plot? I've never heard of that. That's not a bad idea at all. I think it might actually help some writers. Hence comment approved.
It's a shame writing blogs went extinct. This is the kind of thing I would have loved to discuss back in the days of talking shop. Now if you say something like this on social media they gang up and destroy you.
Yep. Still glad I shut down PBW, but not every day. :)
