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.

  6. First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do
    not mind. I was curious to know how you center
    yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had
    trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to
    figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
    Many thanks!

  33. A testnet faucet provides web3 developers with free tokens for deploying, testing, and optimizing smart
    contracts on test blockchains such as Sepolia, Goerli, and Mumbai.

    Because smart contracts on public, mainnet blockchains like Ethereum and Polygon require gas fees to run smart contracts, testnets provide blockchain developers with a network that mirrors production blockchain environments
    without requiring gas fees that cost real money.

  34. Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but I
    was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of
    a good platform.

    When I look at your blog in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it
    has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
