CLD: I usually like to outline my books first. It helps me to get focused and put all of my thoughts in the right place. Then I begin to write anytime it hits me. I have my manuscript and then I have a portfolio in which I jot down quick thoughts that may just hit me. I later go back and review those thoughts to see if they can be used in the manuscript.
