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.

  9. Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time choosing
    between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because
    your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely
    unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  14. I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else
    experiencing problems with your website. It appears
    as if some of the text on your posts are running off the
    screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening
    to them too? This may be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
    Appreciate it

  26. Hey would you mind letting me know which web host you’re using?

    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must say this blog loads a
    lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good hosting provider at a honest price?
    Thanks, I appreciate it!

  38. Whats up this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance
    from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  45. Does your website have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it
    but, I’d like to shoot you an email. I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing.

    Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it
    expand over time.
