"@Katytastic, I haven’t even hit play yet, but I already feel like saying THANK YOU! Just the idea of breaking down the 3-act, 9-block, 27-chapter structure has me hooked. As an aspiring filmmaker, this feels like discovering a treasure map for storytelling-can’t wait to watch and learn from your brilliance!"

Thanks for your video. I really enjoyed the part about not sending to your critique partner long email defending their work. Like, I get it, this is their baby, but I don't want to be the bad guy. If I weren't telling what I really think about their work, with the right arguments of course, I wouldn't feel like I was doing a good job. I wished I had discovered that video sooner and sent it to some of my critique partners.

I FEEL THE SAME WAY about AART by Hank Green with the part about her bisexuality… Like WHY? 🤔💀

as a pantser, this is such a treasure!

I wish this was a novel

KAT COME BACK

Okay who is the winner 😊😊😊😊😊

Mmm 🤔 more like beauty and the beast with some twilight in it. Think about it.

I think this is the best writing video I've ever seen. I'm gonna watch it a billion times 😂 Getting so much satisfaction from watching this.

I am working on developing a plot for a storytelling video game, and this is super helpful. Thank you!

Saudade de seus vídeos!

One of the best videos ❤❤

what about sub plots?

I'm really toying writing a not-so short story, so this video really helps! Thanks!

shut up

Did you ever do a video on your scene outline? I'm not seeing one with an obvious name like SCENE OUTLINE lol. Would love to hear more about that! I know I'm 6 years late but here's hoping. :D

Love this!

Never have I been able to plot a whole novel before and after using this, I have achieved it for the first time. Thank you for showing me that I can do it!

Thank you.

I love this break down- but I’m curious- most beat sheets have Act 2 making up 50% of the word count and Acts 1& 3 , 25% each. So how does this work out with this breakdown of chapters ?

This video is amazing. I outlined my book in about two hours!! Thank you! I’m so happy to get it out of my brain and onto paper.

"Protagonist goona protag" Now I can't unhear that 😂

We all miss girl come back ❤

Good thing I scrolled down and checked the post date. Almost went and tried to enter the September 7th writing contest lol

Does she acknowledge this is from the "Save the Cat" method originally by Blake Snyder?

protags gonna protag got me laughing

So imagine I just managed to finish for the first time my whole outline thanks to this video, but then I went back to it and the document didn’t save lolllll but this method was so effortless that I can just do it again 😅 before I had a full outline, I would never know where to start and thus never do much writing. And I’m a bit of a pantser bc I have to be inspired. But somehow this method allows me to both write any part when I’m inspired, but still have the bigger picture/plan in place to keep the flow. 💃🏼

if the tattoo is haunted, the owner is also haunted by default 👻

kat i miss you i understand if you need time off even if its permanently but i just wanted to say thank you i've been watching you since middle school and im a full grown adult now lol so its been a while

You sound a bit like Furina

Act 3 - resolution/resolution should be resolution/the end.

Gosh i miss her

I’m here in 2024, and you can tell I’ve watched this video multiple times coz I can quote it😂😂

How did you estimate 15 pages out of 3,000 words? @Katytasic

Kat please come back!!!, 😢😢😢

Hi Kat❤

Your zero draft sounds a lot like a film treatment, or more so what's called a "scriptment", which has more descriptions and dialogue.

im so excited to read your books, kat!! ❤️

Miss your book videos.

I see that point 19 is different than in the other video, Here it is listed as "Calm Before the Storm", in the other video you have it listed as "TRIALS." See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJaWlqKagauSi9E. I have combined the two and summarize as follows: "19 Calm Before The Storm (not so calm as we build up pressure and tension), then there are More Trials and finally: The Hero finds a solution, but now must overcome doubt, or some other complication." Any comments?

Thanks for posting this!

Miss your videos, Kat! I use your 27 chapter structure as the initial outline for all my writing projects, and I’m so thankful that you shared that tool with us. Hope you’re reading lots of good books.

I need to do this. I have too many books I’ll never read again (and some I’ll just never read, period) sitting on my bookshelves gathering dust and taking up scape. Need to clear up so I can get more books 😅.

So, she's done with KZbin?

This looks awesome and makes me excited but I can't wrap my head around it 😭

Is this in a pdf or doc. Somewhere?

This video was so much help, you having an actual example is what made is far more helpful than any other videos of the 3 act story structure. I find it very hard to have an idea how to outline my story when one is a fantasy with a side of romance while a few others I’m trying to work on happen in our earth and are pure romance, usually the acts make far more sense for books like the hobbit/the lord of the rings, so this example help me shape this 3 Act Structure into how I want my book to look. Thank you! 😄😊🤍🤍

i come back to this outline roughly every 6 months!!! pls never delete it!!!

i m using this method for writing my theatre story😁
