"Outline? Hush, child. I am a real author, like Stephen King. Stephen King does not outline, so neither shall I. I am a discovery writer who throws my characters into situations to see how they will react, like how the FBI will soon throw you into prison and I will personally watch you enjoy it. Wait for the knock."Not planning out your main story beats and character-arcs beforehand are pretty definitive signs of a hack author.
The funniest part is that it took him 22 months. Most discovery writers shit out a first draft in two weeks and *then* spend months cleaning it up lmao.
