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.

  3. Hi there, I do believe your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I take a look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in I.E.,
    it has some overlapping issues. I just wanted
    to give you a quick heads up! Apart from that, great site!

    added I get three emails with the same comment. Is
    there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Cheers!

  41. Can I simply just say what a relief to uncover an individual who genuinely knows what they are
    discussing over the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it
    important. More people have to read this and understand this side of your
    story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular because you certainly have the gift.

  46. With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of
    plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a
    lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself
    or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do
    you know any techniques to help stop content from being stolen?
    I’d genuinely appreciate it.
