Karin Slaughter - Writer's Routine #1
Writer's Routine
How Much Planning and Planning Do You Do Before You Start Writing?
The author of 'The Good Daughter' doesn't create a detailed outline before writing but focuses on blending emotional, suspense, plot, and character levels seamlessly. They devote thinking time to blending these elements for a compelling story. When introducing new characters over the course of 500 pages, they ensure consistency by rereading the book to maintain character integrity. The author knows everything about each character, holding back secrets to maintain intrigue, inspired by Flannery O'Connor's view on the mystery of character. They aim for realistic character portrayal by including both relevant and irrelevant details, mirroring the gradual discovery of a friend's complexities over time.
