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.

  19. Needed to post you the little bit of note to be able to give thanks once again over the pleasing advice you’ve contributed on this page. This is really wonderfully open-handed with people like you in giving without restraint what some people would have sold as an e book to end up making some bucks for themselves, particularly now that you might have tried it if you wanted. The ideas also served to provide a good way to understand that most people have the same passion like my own to know the truth more on the topic of this matter. Certainly there are some more pleasant times ahead for individuals that view your site.
