that comparison that you made between different methods was something that helped me a lot. i'm planning to screenshot it, print it, and paste it in my wall. never stop making these videos, girl. you're a hero!
I got you!! So glad that this has helped - I also can link a visual in the description, let me work on that today - I will let you know when it's up! 😍
Thank you for doing the comparison between the 3 different outlining methods and using the infographic I understand it so much better now 🙂 no more confusion!
I've been watching endless videos on novel structure and came to the same conclusion!! Had me boggled no-one put 2 and 2 together before New sub for sure!!
Hi, thanks a lot for this overview! It really encouraged me to start plotting again. Thanks for emphazising that we don't have to follow these structures to a t, bc I always was caught in the middle and it felt not right with a method and then I just stopped it overall ^^
I always feel so caught up by *choosing the right method* or *making sure it's perfect* so I totally understand - but we got this!! We just have to keep going
I find it difficult to outline at the scene level. Mostly because it’s easy to see where I want to go (ex. I want my leads to fall in love. And at certain beats, there’s the big moments. The meet, the love reveal/first kiss, the break up). But then…I realize I have to build up to those moments and it’s difficult to think on a much smaller scale. I feel like I’m scrambling for effective ways to fill in that build up. The outline becomes very messy at that point
There is a live link to the template here: shorturl.at/tPY0N ! You should be able to print that page of the website in a PDF format. Let me know if that doesn't work and I can get a PDF for you 🤗
No need to apologize! At the midpoint it’s common for a “time clock” to be set where the MC and crew now have to accomplish the main goal (or central conflict) of the story by a certain time - this is a way to add stakes by putting a ticking clock as pressure on your characters!

Here is the outline visual I used in the video! Hope it's helpful :) shorturl.at/tPY0N
@@mikwrites oh my god. thank you so much for the link. the screenshot turned out blurry while printing. this would help a lot.
This was a great overview! Helped me put outlining into perspective - and props for the effort that must have gone into making those infographics!
I'm so glad it was helpful in some way! And I am a nerd about learning visuals - so it was very fun to make 🤗

Yes! I think a lot of people may know this but for some reason I had to draw it out and overlap them for it to fully click for me haha

I totally feel that! Scenes are hard!! I find it easier to outline and clean up scenes in the editing phase
This is so helpful thank you so much!
You are so welcome! I am glad it was helpful for you ❤
Great video! Is there a pdf version of the template you made? I’d love to be able to print it. No worries if not

At 10:32 what did you mean by “time clocks can occur”? (Sorry lol)

@@mikwrites OHHHH that makes total sense now! Thank you 🥰
