How To Outline A Novel Series. So you like stories, hm.? Once upon a time, there was somebody who wanted to write a novel.
Here’s an outlining tool that has worked awesomely for me, probably because i created it so it’s all about how my brain works. It is a framework of what to start with. In 2012, i submitted my standalone young adult paranormal novel to a call for submissions.
I just participated on a salt lake comic con writers retreat panel called planning and outlining your novel and finding time to write.
Most novels have about 60 scenes and three acts (like a screenplay). You could even make an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of your current draft by using one of our excellent analysis templates. They had an idea they adored, and maybe a character or a scene too. Outline those just like you did for the overarching story, but separate them into their own outlines.
