Does he work from an outline?

Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. The Notebook was written without an outline, Message in a Bottle had no outline for the first 120 pages, but had a highly detailed outline for the last 120 pages. A Walk to Remember had no outline. The Rescue had a moderately detailed outline in the beginning, a highly detailed outline for the middle portion of the novel, but none for the last third of the novel. A Bend in the Road had a fairly detailed outline for the entire novel. Nights in Rodanthe had no outline. The Guardian had a detailed outline. In The Wedding, the last half had an outline, and for Three Weeks with my Brother, there was no outline. True Believer had no outline, and At First Sight had a detailed, chapter by chapter, outline.
