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.

    book in it or something. I feel that you could do with some % to
    drive the message house a little bit, but other than that, that is excellent blog.

  33. Howdy, I think your website could possibly be having browser compatibility
    problems. When I look at your web site in Safari, it looks
    fine but when opening in I.E., it’s got some overlapping issues.
    I just wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Apart from that, fantastic website!

  42. Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if
    it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is
    now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally
    off topic but I had to share it with someone!
