Hi ,
You wouldn’t start building a house without first having an architect draw up the plans, and if you join the free STORY PLAN INTENSIVE challenge I announced earlier this week, you’re not going to have to enter the drafting of your book without a plan either.
1. First, the creation of your outline will work as a story development tool. We’ll use it to craft a story that goes where it needs to go exactly when it needs to get there.
2. Then it will become your roadmap for the drafting process. You’ll always know what scene you need to write next and exactly what needs to happen in that scene. While there will still be room for discovery and creativity, your outline will keep you from getting too far off-track and “lost in the woods.”
3. Finally, your outline will serve as a story analysis tool to initiate the revisions process following the completion of your first draft. It will be an evergreen document that will change and grow along with your story, and will always serve as the foundational framework upon which your revisions can be mapped.
Your outline is an idea creation machine, a drafting roadmap, and a framework for the revisions process. It will give you focus and direction throughout the creation of your novel.
Sick if feeling lost in your story? Join the STORY PLAN INTENSIVE challenge today and you’ll have a clear path to follow.
The challenge is free. To participate, all you need to do is sign-up here.

Kevin T. Johns, writing coach
