How to Plot Your Novel FAST | Writing Advice
Today I'm going to walk you through my process for quickly plotting a novel. I have a few other videos about plotting, but in this video I wanted to explain how to reason your way to a plot outline based on what you already know about your idea.
SHOW NOTES
Steps for Plotting a Novel:
• Summarize your basic idea for the novel and list out the information you already know you want to include in the plot.
• Ask questions about what you don't know, especially questions that focus on why each element would be relevant to the plot and characters.
• Create a synopsis (a summary of the plot) that answers the questions you've posed.
• Make a list of all the scenes you know should be included in the plot based on your synopsis.
• Go back into your outline to add scenes and flesh things out (over and over) until you have a full story.
