Writing the plot outline: One approach

Writing the plot outline: One approach

Write the goal you want to accomplish: Or rather, the goal you want your protagonist to reach by the end of the story. I do this by giving my protagonist a problem to solve. If you have more than one protagonist, say, heroine and hero, this could be that they want the same thing, or they want something opposite from what the other wants.

2cd: Write a quick list of incidents that occur in your story and where they happen. You know, the big things that stick out like a sore thumb. The exciting ones. But don’t allow yourself to get wrapped up in the details just yet, that will come later.

3rd: Now make another list about what might happen in-between the incidents. For every incident ‘scene’ ‘an engagement of action or dialogue’, you need a moment to reflect, to breath and lick wounds or laugh, and make a decision of what to do next. Remember, keep these lists brief. Wiggle room is like letting in the sunshine or moon glow—inspiration may strike.

4th: You’re ready to begin the rough draft.

  1. I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both educative and
    interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the
    nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.

    I am very happy I found this during my hunt for something concerning
    this.

  2. Excellent post. I was checking continuously this blog and I am
    impressed! Extremely useful info particularly the last part 🙂 I care for such information much.
    I was seeking this particular information for a very long time.
    Thank you and good luck.

  4. My developer is trying to convince me to move to
    .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a
    number of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
    I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a
    way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
