I really enjoyed this new book by author R.T. Tolentino. Having written several books myself, over the years I have read a lot of "how-to" books for writing. This is the first book I have come across that described the writing process for an outline in such vivid and structured detail. I really enjoyed the author's "friendly and confident" tone as well, and it was much better than some of the writing books out there that read like boring textbooks, especially when they are focused on the mechanics of the craft.The book "The 90-Minute Book Outline" is really well-structured so that you can get your outline done FAST; it begins small with writing down a few key ideas, and then shows readers/writers how to craft the outline by figuring out the niche that you're going to write in. Then do a brain dump and spend just as much time as needed don researching. As R.T. says, many new writers tend to overdo it with research because they think they have to be an authority first.Write what you know. You can then outline everything in just one sitting if you take care of the essentials first. I really liked the "Reverse Engineering Idea". This strategy alone can save tons of time by knowing what you are going to write long before you write it. The book also has lots of examples that are easy to follow so you can whip through and has your outline done in the 90 minutes as specified by the title.Another solid point is the emphasis on defining your target audience: when you reverse engineer your book first and focus on your audience that you are appealing to, it is easy to get the outline finished. The section on mind mapping is excellent and also includes some helpful diagrams and links to useful apps.
