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.

    Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end?
    I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

  47. 日野と共にBTOOOM!U-18に参加させられ、お互いに助け合いながらなんとか生き延びていた。 しかし、ドローンハンディングでドローンを1機も撃墜できずに「退学」となり、日野の目の前で窒息死した。巴美咲の母親の再婚相手で、表向きでは彼女や巴の弟からは信頼されていた（巴や彼女の別人格曰く「母や弟を洗脳した」らしいが、真相は不明）が、その裏では自分に懐こうとしない巴を虐待していた。再婚相手である義父のことを信頼していたが、娘が裏で虐待されていたことは知らなかった。巴美咲の実の父親だが、娘とのツーショット写真でのみの登場で、現在の状況は不明。 だが、どの段階で「醪造り」の全工程の終了とみなすかは、杜氏の判断に任されている。

  50. Hey! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?

    I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
    I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
