Ch. 28 | From Idea to Outline: How to Plan Your Book
from The Word Weaver Podcast · host Louise Johnson
In today's chapter, I'm sharing how to take your amazing book idea and create an outline. It’s one thing to have a starting point, it’s something else entirely getting to the finish line.Whether you're a plotter, a pantser or a hybrid of both, an outline will act as your daily roadmap with the milestones you want to hit (the big scenes) and the highways/roads in-between en route to the final destination (when you can type "The End").I use good old fashioned pen and paper as well as digital outlines (index cards, sticky-notes, my white wall, binders, scrivener and excel spreadsheets).Hopefully, sharing my method will at least motivate you to go from idea to outline in whichever format you choose!Word Weaver Podcast Links:Instagram: @wordweaverpodcastWebsite: louiseclairejohnson.com/podcastInstagram: @wordweaverpodcast
