What I mean by that is do you want to do it with a paper and a pen or on the computer?<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t answer this for you\u2026everybody is different and for example I rather do it the old fashioned way sometimes though I do it on the computer but not always My best friend though she would rather do writing on her computer.<\/p>\n<p>The thing I really want you to understand before I really start going into the details on how to create a outline is that you need to understand why it\u2019s a good idea to even have a outline and that is why I you should go see my other blog from yesterday by clicking here .<\/p>\n<h2>The first thing you should do is do some brainstorming for your outline!<\/h2>\n<p>If your just starting to write your book you are going to have to ask yourself some questions like who is going to be the main character or where is this story going to take place.<\/p>\n<p>There are different ways to create an <em>outline<\/em> but I am going to show you how I create an<span> outline<\/span> and I am also going to throw in a resource so you can see another way to outline because what I do might not be your way.<\/p>\n<p>Some people can\u2019t do outlines because it just kills their creativity! So just try it once and if you don\u2019t like it try it differently\u2026experiment a bit.<\/p>\n<p>For me having an <strong>outline<\/strong> it doesn\u2019t kill my creativity at all it actually helps me keeps things in order.<\/p>\n<p>Alright so this is what I do when it comes to creating an outline! I get a piece of paper and put the Title of the book or story at the top of the paper.<\/p>\n<p>I then depending on how many chapters you are going to have to create 1-40 for example and beside the number I put the title of the chapter and then I write a description of what that chapter is going to be about. Sometimes I write quite a bit so that if I forget something I\u2019ll have it on paper.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>_______________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>The Queen Of Hearts<\/p>\n<p>1. My Queen<\/p>\n<p>This chapter is about the witch and how she took over the kingdom and becomes the queen.<\/p>\n<p>_______________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Hope that clears up any confusion!\u00a0 That is just an example lol it just came to my head!<\/p>\n<p>If your unsure of your book\u2019s name or chapter name you can go back and change it.\u00a0 Sometimes I would take a look at a chapter title and see it just wasn\u2019t that great so I would change it but I do want to give you a warning I wouldn\u2019t do that too much because then you get in a habit of just changing things and that can be a big no no.<\/p>\n<p>The only reason it would is if you keep changing it\u2026if you do that your book will never get published.\u00a0 I know because well lol I did that and I don\u2019t want you going through that.<\/p>\n<p>&lt;iframe src=\u201dhttp:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/58995353\u2033 width=\u201d500\u2033 height=\u201d375\u2033 frameborder=\u201d0\u2033 webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\u201dhttp:\/\/vimeo.com\/58995353\u2033&gt;How To Create An Outline For Your Story&lt;\/a&gt; from &lt;a href=\u201dhttp:\/\/vimeo.com\/user9842537\u2033&gt;Amy Findley&lt;\/a&gt; on &lt;a href=\u201dhttp:\/\/vimeo.com\u201d&gt;Vimeo&lt;\/a&gt;.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n<h3> to see another way to do an outline and make sure you let me know your thoughts about creating an outline by commenting below!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How To Create An Outline That Will Put Your Book On Fire!
