Just Create - Snow Edition

(As always, the title is just whatever random word popped in my head first)

It's another week! How are you doing? What are you working on? What have you done lately?

Um...well, I'm trying to write up a summary of what I would change in a book, but my proofreader says that I need to say how my revision would end, and I don't know how it would end. I have learned, to my everlasting annoyance, that I can't plan out a book from beginning to end because if I do, then I already know the story. And once I know the whole story, I don't have to tell it to myself.

This inability to outline has left me with two unwelcome choices:

1) Writing scenes out of sequence, which I am also not good at, to give people an idea of how it would go; or

2) Rewriting the whole damned thing. And I don't want to rewrite the whole damned thing. No one likes canon rewrites. Even if I did a stellar job, people would complain that it wasn't like the original book.

So I am stuck with work I can't complete and don't want to do.
