#plot outlining

assassins don’t take sides: plot notes, chapter outlines, and character development >

quick collection of slides and photos of my notebook for part 3 of assassins for @kivusa and anyone else who gives a poop about the insides of writers’ brains and how outlining can help and/or drive you up the wall

I DID IT. I finally having a workable outline for Series 2. And all I had to do was write it out in a jumbled mess.

For serious though, this is the shits-n-giggles spoiler-free version of it that I made after. The real version is like 3x as complicated and rife full of secrets.

I wanted to share this because I occasionally have people ask me how I outline larger stories/ideas, and well ... it’s neither pretty nor is is really linear. The actual version breaks things down more but generally I try and hit up the major thematic/plot points and then visually track how they interconnect.

Welcome to the spiderweb of ideas that is my brain. I tried to put it into a table in Word and I couldn’t handle it. It was too neat.
