Outlining and plotting a novel is such a huge topic, and there is a lot that goes into figuring out your own writing process when it comes to this. Even though this video is 45 minutes, I still feel like I’m barely scratching the surface. In the comments, let me know where you’re still getting stuck.

A long video on a possible outlining process! I know there's still more to cover on this topic, but please let me know if this was helpful and where you still feel stuck or need help!

@joannaholden943 8 месяцев назад

So excited for this! Sitting down with the preptober planner this weekend to do some fun outlining ❤

@ghostyplans 8 месяцев назад

I LOVE long videos! Especially with how deeply in depth you go! It’s so helpful!! ❤

@quartkneek3670 8 месяцев назад

Do you have a link for that clear binder/folder for the note cards? The rings weren't working for me, coz like you said you only get a brief snapshot at a time. I've been keeping my cards together with a rubber band and laying them out on the desk/table but I think that folder system to flip through like a book would work better for me. Thanks.

Sarra, my project is a book of three fairytales I decided to unite within a story-frame. Yikes! I can't get this right.

@WorkingTowardsImprovement 8 месяцев назад

I’ve been following for awhile. I don’t think I’ve commented ever. Not even remotely a writer but honestly just love listening to you talk. You’re very motivational and you put in such hard work in caring for your community. I believe I found you from a planner video and had no idea you were an author. I got your books on kindle and I’m excited to try reading them. Not my normal genre. Good luck with your book writing this November!

@Avionne_Parris 8 месяцев назад

Please do the serial outlining video, Sarra! I write YA portal fantasy with mixed race MCs (since I'm mixed) in serial form and I LOVE your outlining style so I'd love to see how you apply these techniques to the serial format. Hoping you (and Evie) have a speedy recovery :-)

@SarahMcAshan 8 месяцев назад

Oh, I think it would be cool to see a video covering plotting differences between a regular novel and a serial! Also, I love that James Scott Bell book on the Mirror Moment (Write Your Novel From the Middle). Very useful, good to see it shouted out! Finally, the aesthetics of your presentation are always flawless--you are so thoughtful.

@HeartBreathings 8 месяцев назад

haha, I love it. Do you outline at all after you've finished your draft? Or how do your edits work?

@staceyshillingburg7966 8 месяцев назад

@@HeartBreathings no I never outline. I tried to do beats once after I finished a manuscript and I did not care for it 😂 I actually do your old editing steps and modify as needed ☺️

Yay! Love your plotting videos! I still watch your How To Plot A Novel series when ever I plot a new story. Can't wait for thr 2.0 next year! I would also love to see that serial plotting video you mentioned, as I'm considering writing a serial in the future.

@princessteach 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for these videos. I have a couple of story ideas but I wasn’t sure how to get them started, these are so helpful

@Arinrine 8 месяцев назад

One cool thing that you mentioned is that we can tweak the process according to our own needs and i find that is the most important part to me. i'm not that big of an outliner myself but i struggle a lot with memorie issues. Those outlining, plotting, brainstorming videos help me a ton with that, since it gives me just the structure i need to write down and organize all the thougths i have throughout writing. like, i'll have an awsome idea and then struggle to remember it halfway through but now i know i can trust my wiki to remind of it for myself, so i'm basically building all those pieces a i write and not before it.

thank you for all the time and the heartblood you put into this. Even for me, a total pantser, this is interesting to watch and gives me some ideas to try out. But most of all I just love to watch your passion and joy for your work. That's infecting and motivating in itself! Love from Germany

@lisabader44 8 месяцев назад

I absolutely love the idea of the index card binder. I just ordered one for myself 😊

@cynthialovesbooks 8 месяцев назад

I'm more of a pantser with some plotting sprinkled in. I love watching plotting and outlining videos to get tips that I could incorporate into my process. I tend to rattle a story around in my head until I get the overall plot down and then I start writing the movie I see in my mind. I love your videos and they are always so helpful.

@ouryarnwhirled 8 месяцев назад

I'm very interested in learning how to plot a series. Love the way you explain things. Thanks Sarra!

@pamdwriter 8 месяцев назад

You made my day and then some when you mentioned writing (this?) as a serial! I grew up watching serialized tv and fell in love with my genre, but I've realized (much to my frustration, among many other uncomfortable emotions) that, while watching the genre gives you an excellent sense of expectations and tropes etc. it is a far cry from having any foundation for writing such stories. Thank you SO MUCH! 💖💗 33:03

@fralou_sind_kreativ 8 месяцев назад

Hi Sarra, I'm a Planster :) Your videos really help me to try new things and figure out even more what is the best way for me tow write. So thanks a lot!!! :D Sending you love and creative vibes and wishing you a wonderful Preptober

@writingsue65 8 месяцев назад

Thank you, Sarra, I am in the midst of writing my 12th novel and still always learn something from you with your videos. I used to be a pantser but now I am always under a deadline, so I was kind of forced to plot which makes the process of the actual writing less stressful. But as I still enjoy discovery writing I have a couple of projects on the side that aren't under contract I am just pantsing for the fun of it. Good luck with Nanno :-)

@wolfiegames1829 8 месяцев назад

Great video as always Sarra! I'm knee deep in my outline right now. I'm leaving for vacation a week from today, so I'm trying to get as much done before I leave as possible. I won't have internet while I'm on my trip so I won't have access to any of my digital stuff. I am taking your preptober planner with me though, so I'm still hoping to get stuff done!

@roseandrope 8 месяцев назад

I am absolutely still trying to figure things out with the plotting side of writing, coming from a diehard pantaser to realizing I get too frustrated and stuck with out a plan so I trying to find my happy medium, something where I still get to make it up along the way but still have some structure. and thank you for the lovely video

@syenite 8 месяцев назад

I used to be a pantser, and then I had a horrible accident and my ability to look at a screen for long periods of time and my ability to sit in a computer chair deteriorated and I had to force myself to learn dictation so I could write w/o looking at a screen a lot and write while laying down. And oh WOW did I learn that dictation necessitates at least a *little* planning! And I quite like it! I did not think I would enjoy plotting/planning, but it's made for less stressful and frustrating edits and it's made the dictation process so much easier. I love planning and outlining now after 20 years of being a die hard pantser! I just found your channel and am loving it, thanks for all the resources, videos, and advice.

@LisaParkesWildheart 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Sarra. This is super helpful and gives me confidence in my writing. I am writing a cozy mystery series and would love to learn more about series plotting. The Preptober planner is awesome.

@lunaloveralex6009 5 месяцев назад

Im happy that i came across your videos. Ive been going off mostly the plot set up described in "save the cat, writes a novel" and this feels like the same set up, but done in more broader strokes at a time and i feel like that will really help when i first start out with the plotting/story idea, then agter i get that down, I can narrow things down/add details that go along with the 15 beats of plot in the book. Very helpful and I plan to watch your world building video next!!

Thank you. Seeing your process is helping me a ton. I play it in the background as I work my way through my own story. P.S. I decided a while ago to start calling it a 4-part structure as well, then I usually use Dan Harmon's story circle to generally structure each part.

It's a juicy little look into someone's brain, like seeing what's in their planner, purse, or how they organize their desk. Thanks for the video, and I hope you and Evie feel better soon. Better to get sick now rather than during Spooktacular or NaNo!

@authorannettepalmer 8 месяцев назад

I would love to see how you plot a serial. I’m a panster usually, but only because I tend do most of the plotting in my head as I’m writing. So I’ll only plot a few days ahead, except I usually know my climax, but not always. Sounds risky but it works for me. Your videos are super helpful though. 💜

@thefilipinojoe 2 месяца назад

Amen on the pep talk. It’s all about getting started towards achieving the goal. With huge goals, such as writing a novel, we definitely need to make a good plan that we feel will successfully work for us in taking us from where we’re at to where we want to be. Once we figure out the best way for us to accomplish our goal, we need to start the journey and no longer focus on how huge and difficult the goal is, but enjoy each step, knowing and trusting that we’re on the best path to succeed in achieving the goal. Also, when it comes to huge goals it’s important to be wholly committed to succeeding, as in if I don’t succeed, I’m going to die trying. If we’re not that committed then we might not follow through when the going gets tough or when we discover that instead of taking one month to achieve the goal it takes one year, or possibly ten.

So thankfull that this world holds you inside of it! I am writing a really different kind of book, a memoir of how I fell in love with gardening and it changed my whole look on the future hopes for us in this planet. I have now faith that planting will heal us and the planet. This is a story that really wants to be told in joy and funny excamples. But until this video, I could not grasp HOW. Now I have the first time a grounded feeling that the book will happen and it is possible to make the first draft this nanowrimo. How cool! You are changing the world for better. Thank you.

I've never fully grasped the concept of Act 1, etc. when it comes to plotting - my plotting style is very different what or who can be seen, heard, touched, smelled or tasted - bringing forth the 5 senses helps me (personally) with emersion -- and this process helps me calm down during a seizure
