Plotting a Story (for Writers who HATE Plotting)

A pantser's guide to plotting! Are you a writer who HATES plotting of any kind? But you know your stories could benefit from a bit of outlining? You're 100% right – outlining your story before you write it will not only strengthen your characters, plot, and themes… it will help you tremendously during the editing process. But plotting can be really overwhelming — especially if you’re used to flying by the seat of your pants. That's why, in today's video, I’m going to show you how to create a minimal and non-intimidating outline that will guide your story to greatness.

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.

Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
