I really liked this video. I'm absolutely a discovery writer and have no plans to change that, but I like the idea of tracking the B story in my outline. I do make an outline as I go, and it's usually *mostly* filled in by the time I reach the midpoint.
@@byrachelmoore I just found your channel. Are you not making videos any longer? I am setting aside 6 months to dig my heals in and finish my own novel. I will scour your videos for tips. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
I had no idea that I was starting to make a scene book of my own before I watched this video! I was using a new bullet journal of mine and I was going chapter by chapter. And I find that this YA contemporary WIP is less intimidating then my MG fantasy! I also liked that you said you only have to go "scene by scene"! That was genius! Thank you for this great video! I know I'm commenting a year late but it's still a great video! Thank you!
I found this video sooo helpful! Especially love how you showed examples of what the pages with the sticky notes should look like and how that gets divided
i personally know that i get SUPER overwhelmed when it comes to writing because i think about the story as a whole...and there’s a LOT that goes into it 😂 i am definitely going to have to try the scene book because i feel like it would be super helpful for me. thank you for making this video!
Okay okay you helped me to clarify some stuff. I think that treating the book as scenes of 500 words first is amazing. I will start doing this bc it is definetly a better approach a step by ste,little by little process that calms down my distraction tendency. Ihave been performing better lately (since i plotted with a mind map) but this elevates it. Thank you.
I absolutely love this!! I’ve always struggled with writing individual scenes and keeping them relevant to the story - i tend to let my characters wander and do whatever they want, but this method might help me stay in control! trying this!! 😍😍😍😍
It was actually so helpful! I'm more like a panster, but then I'll never finish my book if I don't have an outline. And I'm actually always struggling with scenes in a chapter, especially if I'm at the end of the book. I'm currently outlining mine, but I can't move on, bc I don't know what to put into my chapter. But then I'll definitely try this from now on! Thank you so much for this video!!🥹🫶🏽
This was a great video, Rachel but it would be helpful to see some of the actual ‘scene pages’ Maybe you could make a second one showing important scenes for your character arcs…Thanks again…
I'm watching this after the announcement today and I am so proud of you and so happy to say I talked to you when you were still living in Indiana. (Also I moved a little closer to Indiana and I love you)
The line dividing your steno notebook page immediately made me think of Jennie Nash's Two Tiered Outline method. Have you ever looked into that? Sounds like you're already (sort of) doing it, with the emotional arc on one side, but I found the way she weaves the tiers together so enlightening. Maybe check it out if you haven't heard of it! Great video, btw.
heyy, my issue is that i focus on my characters way more than anything else. they are so deep, i add so many details and growth and stuff but i can’t figure out the best plot or idea. i want the plot to be exciting and meaningfull but i only become super creative with my characters and i end up with so many ideas for the plot but none of them worth writing. im also having trouble with world building, how do i make a fantasy world that is unique but still relatable and understandable? THIS IS SO CONFUSING CAN SOMEONE OFFER ADVICE
hey, layan!! have you read STORY GENIUS by lisa cron? her craft book focuses on how our main character’s emotional arc is the driving force behind the plot, and you might find it useful!
"This was for the first draft of my first book I ever wrote....mmm, the first book I ever finished." Well said. 😅
She really made one video and dipped permanently
too true 😂 if you want to stay up to date with my publishing journey, you can follow me on Instagram, where I’m infinitely more active, haha!
@@byrachelmoore girl you need to make more videos
@@byrachelmoore you must be on the Netflix schedule for new seasons
@@JessiTheBestiGaming 😂🤣😂🤣 ok noted 🫡
While you will never demolish my pantser agenda, this was great! Definitely make more writing vids! :D
"If you make a scene book, you'll never hate the fun and games section ever again." @ me next time!!!

YES whatever works best for you!! No wrong way to write a book as long as you write it 💕

This has singlehandedly destroyed my pantser mindset. This sounds so helpful!
The algorithm brought me here. This was so charming and helpful! I was expecting more videos! Are you still writing?
Yes! My first two books are published with HarperCollins, and I have two more coming from PRH ❤
@@byrachelmoore make more videos…! 🥰🙏🙏🙏

wow i love this, i took so many notes! i'm totally gonna make a scene book for my current wip, thank you :)
this video single-handedly cleared my skin, fixed my make-up, and watered my crops. thank you masterclass instructor rachel!!!!!!!
I just love your energy!!! Always smiling!!!
I found this video sooo helpful! Especially love how you showed examples of what the pages with the sticky notes should look like and how that gets divided
I’m so, so, so glad!! Here’s to more books plotted & written in 2021 👀❤️

i am definitely going to have to try the scene book because i feel like it would be super helpful for me. thank you for making this video!
YES, one scene at a time is all it takes 💪🏻
This was such a great video. I would love to see you continue sharing your writing journey.
Me too. One of the most real and genuine writers help videos I’ve watched. Not overly complicated and easy to follow.
I’m excited to watch this my goal right now is to be able to plan a whole book before starting to write it!
YAY best of luck, Kaylee! 💕
Save the cat is my FAVOURITE writing tool in this world 😂😂

PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO HOW YOU OUTLINE!
This is incredible. I would love to see videos on revision!
Ha! I do that exact same thing with sticky notes on the pages. I never even write on the page directly.

Loved this video! Thank you so much 🥰
This scene book is helpful. I might actually create my scene book as I draft my debut novel. It’s slightly different as it’s dual POV.
This is such a cool and unique way to plan your book!
I really enjoyed this tutorial. It was so helpful that I subscribed to your channel! Thanks for making this.🙏
You are _AMAZING_

I guess this is yet another synonym for an outline, ah 🧐
Wish you had said I needed an outline earlier than 6 min in. Outlines are poison to me. I can’t help it. But I enjoyed your personable you.
Those teeths 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
