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.

  3. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or
    something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message
    home a bit, but other than that, this is great blog.

    A great read. I’ll certainly be back.

  7. I believe what you posted made a great deal of sense.
    But, think on this, suppose you were to write a awesome post title?
    I ain’t saying your information isn’t good., but suppose you
    added a title that makes people desire more? I mean Writing the plot
    outline: One approach is kinda plain. You might glance
    at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create article titles to get people
    to click. You might add a related video or a
    pic or two to grab people interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could
    bring your website a little livelier.

  13. Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring on other websites?

    I have a blog centered on the same subjects you discuss and would love to
    have you share some stories/information. I know my visitors would value your work.
    If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an email.

  16. I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering problems with your blog.

    It appears as though some of the written text in your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this
    is happening to them too? This could be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before.

  42. A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I do think
    that you need to publish more on this issue, it may not be
    a taboo subject but usually people do not speak about such issues.
    To the next! All the best!!
