  • Plotting for Writers who don't Plot... A Green Room special with Paul Austin Ardoin
    Jul 27 2026

    A bonus episode with special guest Paul Austin Ardoin. Paul is the author of Fenway Stevenson Mysteries and he joined me and Green Room members to discuss his brilliant new nonfiction book, Outlining for Novelists who don't Outline, which is packed with tips for pantser writers who want more control over their story without losing their voice.

    We discuss:
    If you can you pants a mystery
    Creating vivid characters
    Coping with disappearing sidekicks and much more!

    This is the sort of stuff that we discuss in my online writing group The Green Room all the time and I'm planning on having more special guests in the future. You can join today! There's more about the Green Room here... https://markstaywrites.com/the-green-room/
