Robert Jordan... Is A Lot Of Writer

But One Must Go Where One's Road Leads, Even When It's A Distressing Road.

I Never Do A Full Outline, And If I Did, I Would Not Feel Bound To It, Because The View From Inside A Scene Can Be Different From The View Outside It. But Neither Do I Just Start Writing And See What Happens; I Am Far More Disciplined Than That.
