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.

  35. A course on Biomagnetism by Dr. Garcia is enlightening and comprehensive, with its
    detailed lectures combined with hands-on training.

    It has been designed for a broad range of learners at different stages in their
    career or from various fields; this it does by giving more weight to
    the scientific method as well as continuous developments in biomagnetism skills.
    The U.S courts are taught about not only through theoretical discussions but also practical seminars where students get involved with different activities related to what they have learnt so
    far during their studies such as principles behind this science and how it can be
    applied into practice within legal systems of America. There is
    an imposed strict dress code which aims at creating professionalism among all participants towards each
    other while showing respectfulness too. Those health care professionals who
    want to incorporate holistic methods into their practice especially those who want to be good at it should attend this workshop.
