Hi Nat! What does a "detailed outline" look like for you? I've tried many different types of outlining, from high-level bullet points to paragraphs full of detail, and haven't been able to find a good balance between them. I prefer more detail, but feel as though I wind up writing half the draft in that alone, but maybe that's the point. Any thoughts?

Nat, this is tremendous. First, congratulations on the accomplishment! Also thank you for sharing your learnings and experience.

Re: Item #3 about creative and physical endurance - this is spot on and a topic I plan to dive into here on SS. Look forward to hearing more on the revision process and ROI on this 1-month first draft.
