Writing Tip: The Master Plan
When starting a new project, the first thing I do is create a detailed outline for the book. This chapter-by-chapter plan includes all the elements of plot and character development, along with a detailed timeline for the novel. I use large sheets of âbutcherâ paper that I can then tack up on my office wall, allowing me to see the entire novel all at once. These outlines end up looking a lot like storyboards; when I sit down to pen a first draft, I donât have to wonder what happens next. Instead, I can concentrate on good storytelling.
