WRITING MY NOVEL | Outlining & Plotting
A writing vlog where I share how I'm getting on with editing the first draft of my novel.
You can see the rest of my videos in this writing/editing my novel playlist: • NOVEL WRITING
A lot of the techniques I've used are thanks to Sarra Cannon of the Heart Breathings RU-vid channel. This is her plotting playlist where she links to her free plotting guide that I refer to a lot: • How To Plot Your Novel
My name is Helen Redfern and I am a writer, Instagrammer and RU-vidr with a love of reading and baking.
In my RU-vid videos I am sharing my writing journey as I endeavour to finish my novel and submit to literary agents, as I embark on a self-publishing journey with my second novel and as I write essays for Patreon about writing and creating online.

The notes pages, filled to the brim with handwritten thoughts, is sooooo satisfying to see. I love notebooks and notes pages like this.

@HelenRedfern 2 года назад

Yes me too! Thank you.

This is my plotting, outlining and organisation goals 😍 feeling super inspired by your video and hoping I can get well on my way to getting mine down tonight, thanks for sharing Xx

@HelenRedfern 5 лет назад

That’s great! Make sure you check out Heart Breathings for lifting inspiration too. She’s changed everything for me.

@reginabusboom8271 Год назад

Helen, I absolutely love this video! Thank you for the detail in which you showed your process, the worksheets, the note cards, the notebook with Act 1. I finally feel I know where to start, and most importantly just TO START! I’m so excited to get started!

@HelenRedfern Год назад

That’s brilliant! Good luck!

@HeartBreathings 5 лет назад

Been going through your writing videos and it's so awesome to see you using my plotting sheets!! Love to watch your process. You might say later in the video but what notebook are you using for the outline?

@HelenRedfern 5 лет назад

Sarra I hope it comes across how amazing I think your outlining system is. You have honestly changed everything for me! The notebook is a moleskine hardback, ruled, extra large - this is the .co.uk link so you can see www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01K03DAQM/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

What is the last section of your outline?

@magpie_mel 5 лет назад

I’ve so missed your writing vlogs!! Really, really glad you’re doing them again 😊. I started watching Sarra’s channel on your earlier recommendation and absolutely LOVE her...she’s lit a fire under my backside when so many before her have failed 😂...so I’m forever grateful to you for that! Plus it seems you and I are at a parallel place with our current novels and I’m loving watching how you’re working...it just all feels so “comrade-in-arms”-ish which is such a rare thing for a writer as we toil away in solitude, cloaked in mystery 😂. I think writing process vlogs are the great untapped genre...there’s a trillion art/craft process videos but not so many for writers. We’re very under-served 😉. ❤️

@HelenRedfern 5 лет назад

Sarra is amazing. I’ve also signed up to her self publishing course. She has reignited my motivation just when I needed it most.

@HelenRedfern 5 лет назад

And thank you lovely 😘😘

@@HelenRedfern me too!!! We'll be in class together!! :) I haven't felt this excited about my writing and even publishing for a very long time. *squeee* :)

your organization inspires me.

@HelenRedfern 4 года назад

That’s lovely to hear - thank you (I wasn’t always organised!)

@leiselclayton5772 Год назад

Thank you for being so transparent about this. 💞 I really needed to see in detail how someone goes about this, and while I’d known about they lady you referenced and had seen some of her videos, I’d missed or put off seeing the one(s) you talked about, so I’d missed out on the resources you were using from her.

@NurunNaharLilian 3 года назад

I am really inspired by your super organised and beautiful video.

@livingroomsession 5 лет назад

Watching this video while browsing your other videos. I think I found what I’ve been looking for after seeing your ‘office tour’ thumbnail. Subscribed in the first 2 mins❤️

@HelenRedfern 5 лет назад

Hi Andini - and thank you!

@katies8080 2 года назад

Glad I found your channel, this video has been really interesting and I may start doing this myself. I watched Lainey Kress at gingerreadslainey's channel last night and she was outline something similar. But my trouble is I have so many novel ideas I don't know where to start first. I sometimes watch Sarra too and have subscribed to her newsletter and may have go back and check if I've downloaded anything and print it out. May I also suggest joining Twitter (yes I know, necessary evil aparently) especially if you are keen to go through a traditional pubslisher they want people to have a social media presence. I found recently that Twitter has a wonderful writing community and I follow many authors and publisher to keep an eye on the market!

@garland3688 3 года назад

I was curious, in your moleskin outline book what other information do you record besides the plot outline? Do you write any of the book in that particular notebook?

@garland3688 4 года назад

Hey! Love your videos! Is that a red Lemome notebook that you have your grid written in? I’d love to get that notebook.

@garland3688 4 года назад

Sorry! Found it in your other post! Anyway, love it!

@HelenRedfern 4 года назад

Sorry for my delay! Glad you found your answer and you love the lemome!

@garland3688 4 года назад

Helen Redfern love how you create your grid. The section where you have the structure title is a great idea. I’m trying to use that and incorporate a way of having subplots.

@TolstojsNiece 4 года назад

Definitely need to do this to my plot! There are so many chunks I might need to move it's just not possible to grasp the placement at all in a word document :D

@HelenRedfern 4 года назад

It can feel really overwhelming in one document can’t it? So much to pull together.
