The Secrets to Outlining Your Novel: How to Clearly Organize Your Story Ideas into an Epic Book You Can Write and Publish
By John S. Warner
How many times have you gone through something and said “I could write a book about this!”? Now is the time to stop doubting and start planning!
Just as every great meal starts with a recipe, every epic novel starts with an epic outline.
But is an outline really necessary? Can’t you just wing it? Isn’t all that time on an outline better spent on actually writing? And doesn’t an outline just pour water on that spark of creativity?
That’s what you may have heard…until now!
In The Secrets to Outlining Your Novel, you will discover:
- How novel outlines improve the direction of a story, make the writing process easier, and reduce those time-consuming writer’s blocks
- The core elements of every novel outline and how to develop them so that they naturally entwine—rather than confuse the reader
- What type of writer you are (shocker: just because you don’t consider yourself a plotter doesn’t mean you can’t create an outstanding novel outline)
- Eleven types of outline methods that motivate you to type, write, sketch, and highlight
- The amazing technique Michael Crichton used to organize his plots into a logical timeline
- How to use “what ifs” to turn one sentence into a captivating novel while filling in those irritating plot holes
- How to organize your chapters without stressing about word count and cut-off points
- Thirty questions to develop character profiles and outlines so that they grow in line with your plot
- One of the most impactful chapters in a novel that only had one word
- Genre-specific advice and outline methods from best-selling masters like Julia Donaldson, Ken Follet, and Nicholas Sparks…to name a few!
And much more.
Writing is like the fable of The Hare and the Tortoise. Slow and steady will always beat quick and careless.
