That's great advice. I'm really vague about the story at this point so every description I write comes out trite as hell ("she thought her whole life was secure until everything changed..."), so I've left the synopsis alone for now.

I'm going to devote the last week of June to outlining. I'm wary of pantsing precisely because I love to follow characters down rabbit holes. I know I'm not going to follow my outline the whole way and the outline itself will go through a number of changes, but at least the plan keeps me from going too far into too many dead ends. The last time I did a novel-length story I made a 20-page outline, lol. What about you? Do you plan before you start writing?

Also, are you going to be joining a cabin for Camp? Any thoughts on the virtues of cabining with friends, random (literally) strangers, or assignment based on criteria?
