Explore the top reasons outlining your novel and how the Outlining Your Novel Workbook computer program can help write a better story and have more fun doing it.
For more information about the Outlining Your Novel Workbook Computer Program, please visit: www.OutliningYo...
The Outlining Your Novel Workbook computer program is a powerful brainstorming tool for writers. It is designed to guide you in discovering the brilliant possibilities in your ideas, so you can identify those best suited to creating a solid story that will both entertain and move your readers.
Writing a novel is a complex problem that often leaves writers uncertain about where to begin or what questions to ask to find the right answers. By applying an outlining approach to your writing (at any stage in the process), you can gain a big-picture view of your plot, character, and theme. You’ll be able to identify potential plot holes before they ever get started, dig past obvious ideas to those that are truly unique and interesting, and create a plot that taps into the power of a solid Three-Act Structure.
The Outlining Your Novel Workbook (based on internationally-published and award-winning author K.M. Weiland’s acclaimed book by the same name) provides an intuitive and easy-to-use fill-in-the-blanks format that will guide you through every step of the process. Creating your own outline is as simple as starting on the first screen, using its prompts and lessons to work through your story in the most intuitive way, and clicking through the tabs at the top of the screen to access important sections such as Premise, Characters, and Settings.
Create your scene outline by identifying questions and plot holes still to be addressed, map your character’s arc and theme, and play with fun features that allow you to “cast” your characters and create story-specific playlists (which you can listen to without ever leaving the program). When you’re finished, you can print your finished outline or export it to popular word processors such as Scrivener to help write your first draft.
The Outlining Your Novel Workbook program makes outlining a fun and empowering process that will help you write your best story.
Features:
Outline - Create a story with a solid Three-Act plot structure and perfect scene structure.
Premise - Easy fill-in-the-blanks give you a perfect elevator pitch every time.
General Sketches - Brainstorm the big picture of your scene list, character arcs, and theme.
Character - Get to know your characters with an extensive character interview, featuring 100+ questions.
Settings - Keep track of your settings, explore your best options, and answer helpful world-building questions.
Fun Extras - Import your mind maps and world maps, keep track of your story’s timeline, cast your characters, and create story-specific musical playlists.
Print and Export - Export your outline for printing or your scene list for use in popular word processors.

I had started to read your books many years ago but got sidetracked by personal crap, got overwhelmed and shelved my idea(s), but I am back in the saddle and this time I'm committing to finishing a book. Just want to thank you for all your hard work.

Stopped by to tell you that your website was amazingly helpful and filled with a very direct breakdown of information to help me with writing my novel. I appreciate anyone who gives their time to elevate others. In life we must find ways to give value to those around us so we can work together, grow together, and rise together. Peace in harmony!

Do you outline before you write or after the first draft? Either way, this software looks great. Love from a fellow writer writing about writing!! 💛💛

Just curious if this might ever be offered in an app? I don’t own a computer 💻 or laptop - just an iPad Pro that I replaced my computer with. I use it everyday with the Scrivener app and I use a Bluetooth keyboard for my big task typing! I do not want to purchase another computer but this program looks really great! Just curious if you might be offering it someday for us iPad Pro users!

Would this program require that we've read your outlining books? Would it suffice to go through the material on your website and go from there? Also, I just want to say that a lot of your material (online and on Kindle) have been incredibly helpful. I've just finished your Story Structure posts (still trying to master it) and will be moving on to the How to Outline Your Novel posts. Thanks for everything!

Great to hear you've enjoyed the info! The program includes all of the text from the paperback version of the workbook, which was designed so it could be used on its own without the main book Outlining Your Novel (although I do believe you'll get more out of it with the addition of the main book). However, if you're willing to hunt for it, you can also find all the info you need on my site.

I really like your channel - your advices are concise, precise and professional. Am not an English native speaker though. Is it possible to write in the outline workbook computer program in Cyrillic alphabet?
@KMWeilandAuthor
@KMWeilandAuthor 6 лет назад
Great to hear you're enjoying the channel. The program is written in English. I'm really not sure about whether you could write in Cyrillic. I think this might depend on whether your keyboard is in Cyrillic.

What is the 'mind map' option for under the Extras button?

It's a place where you can drag the image of a mind map created elsewhere, if you so desire.

Also also how many computers can we install this on? I hope its at least 3 I have a laptop or desktop and I would like to save the third one in case something happens to them. If there was a way you could always link it to our classroom account that we have with you so that we could download it multiple times as long as it's logged in on that account
@KMWeilandAuthor
@KMWeilandAuthor 7 лет назад
The download license allows individual users to download the program to multiple personal computers.

So you are not using yWriter anymore? Or are you using both? Which one would you recommend? Oh I've just seen it's not free, and not cheap either. I'll stick with yWriter. By the way, has anyone ever told you that you look like Emma Watson?
@KMWeilandAuthor
@KMWeilandAuthor 5 лет назад
I switched from yWriter to Scrivener, which I highly recommend. Scrivener, like yWriter, is a word processor and organization software. The Outlining Your Novel Workbook is neither. It's a guided approach to brainstorming a story outline. It's more of a "pre-Scrivener" thing.

I'm writing a madame bovary kind of story where the setting is on this wildland KiMdom and the protagonist loves this guy called Miguel woods. She's an artist and reveals her secrets to miguel through letters. But oh no, theres a mist of evil around those letters. Therefore, some how by some mysterious force those letters begin to twist miguel woods heart so the story starts to unveil bits by bits little by little so on. what do you think? Any advice?
