Quote of the Week: Peter Temple

In a recent interview with Bob Cornwell at the Tangled Web site, author Peter Temple (Broken Shore, In the Evil Day) had this to say on the concept of outlining before writing:

“Couldn’t bear it, that’s writing by numbers. If I was capable of sketching a plot out on a white board, I’d take the whole board down and send it the publishers and get someone else to write it.”
