An Easy Way to Plot Your Book

from How to Write Good · host Daniel Poppie

Something things in writing are boring. I find copy-editing boring. Formatting is not that fun either. Neither is sending out queries to agents. Some of you may find outlining a boring part of the book, and some of you may find outlining so boring you have labelled it as useless so you do not even do it (Because we all know that there can be no other reason for why you do not outline a book). When I think about outlining a book, I do not think most people have trouble with the process. You come up with a framework. You fill out that framework. Some people write paragraphs for their outline. Some people make it look like an outline. I do not think there is a wrong format to do outlines in, but I do think that outlining does have a logical flow. In this episode of How to Write Good, I am going to be going through the different steps of how I outline, and I am going to be explaining why I think this process makes the most sense and how it will save you time, heartache, and effort.My Book: https://amzn.to/31UcCPgMy Newsletter:https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/a1r2k2My episode on why I think you should outline:https://www.spreaker.com/episode/32624623My episodes on generating ideas:https://www.spreaker.com/episode/31470148https://www.spreaker.com/episode/31650624My Website:www.danielpoppie.com HTWG Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/howtowritegoodHTWG Twitter: https://twitter.com/danielpoppieHTWG Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielpoppieOne Last Toast for Ebenezer Fleet:https://www.spreaker.com/show/one-last-toast-for-ebenezer-fleet
