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. Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance.
    I must say you’ve done a very good job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Firefox.

    Excellent Blog!

  7. Tradicionālie fiziskie kazino
    ir joprojām pieejami (Latvijā gan ar katru gadu arvien limitētākā
    daudzumā), taču nav tik aktuāli kā online versijas.
    Nav brīnums, jo spēlēt tiešsaistē var jebkurā laikā un dienā, spēles būs pieejamas vienmēr, kā arī nav jāgaida,
    kamēr atbrīvosies vieta pie galdi. Papildus, kā
    vienu no labākām priekšrocībām pieminēsim arī bonusus,
    kuri ir pieejami tikai tiešsaistē. Taču pastāv viena neērtība –
    plašs vietņu klāsts. Lai ieteiktu saviem
    lasītajiem tikai labāko, mums par kazino ir jāzina viss.
    Tieši tāpēc mēs izveidojām komandu no izciliem industrijas ekspertiem, kas
    apkopo pieejamo informāciju internetā, analizē spēļu vietnes,
    veido spēlētāja kontus un komunicē ar klientu apkalpošanas centru.
    Tas viss ir darīts, lai Jūs kā mūsu vietnes apmeklētājs netērētu laiku, bet gan izdarītu izvēli dažu minūšu laikā.
