This week we are doing something a little different... planning a novel 100% from scratch using the Save the Cat beat sheet story structure!
I'm a pantser at heart so this is a challenge and I'm hoping a chance for me to dig into story structure, evaluate my own biases towards particular structures, and challenge my belief that structured planning is too restrictive for me. Who knows - maybe i'll produce an amazing novel outline... or maybe not.
To be clear - whilst i am discussing and testing this particular beat outline, it is not a requirement of save the cat that you go from zero idea on what you are writing to a complete beat sheet in the span of about an hour an a half. Thats an extra challenge i gave myself for the purpose of this video and clearly a very large restriction.
