Just come across this sentence
“A good outline will guide you during you writing your novel.”
It seems a little bit odd to me. I know you can phrase it like “A good outline will guide you while you’re writing your novel.” But is this grammatically correct?
Answer
This not correct because “during” is a preposition. There is no prepositional phrase following “during” in this sentence, only an independent clause which requires a conjunction.
So you could say
“A good outline could help you while you are writing your novel.”
or
“A good outline could help during the writing of your novel.”
