Reader question: Do you outline or let the story unfold naturally?

For USA Today bestselling author Jacqueline Diamond, writing a romance novel is a combination of approaches. From the spark of an idea, she develops the main characters, their goals and conflicts, and where the major turning points in the story are likely to occur. But there are always surprises, as the characters speak and act spontaneously!

Reader question: How do you handle writer's block?

Writer's block can result from emotional or physical problems affecting an author, but they can also arise for no obvious reason, sometimes in the middle of a book. Jacqueline Diamond goes back and rereads the earlier chapters, then brainstorms about further events affecting the characters. Often she finds that her story has taken a wrong turn and is signaling that she needs to rethink some aspect of the plot.
