Some thoughts on #RWA as it’s future is considered. YMMV, obvs:
1. RWA needs to decide if it is an advocacy group for authors. If so, it needs to reorient *for* authors. The complaint against Courtney, in addition to its other failings, was not. /12. RWA ethics should be mandatory for the industry, and aspirational for authors. It should be impossible for industry members to weaponize the code against authors. /2

Since I look to my creative outlets to keep me sane in these Days of Crazy, let's talk about "outlining" your novel, shall we? I'm going to walk through what I've done before, and what I've been doing for the last 10 books or so /1
