HOW TO OUTLINE | 3 act 9 block 27 chapter example

[@rebekahdevall3584]

... I just did this and outlined a book in half an hour. 😂 This is a dangerous tool.

[@Jordzs7]

Me too! Had been procrastinating on how to move forward for months and this literally made it so much simpler to tie it all together!

[@phantom_of_romance1945]

This helps a lot! You think it's dangerous with just that? Try using this backwards! It's extremely helpful n.n Start from Block 9 and end at Block 1

[@phantom_of_romance1945]

Because if you know how it ends, there won't be that confusion that she has in this video. Idea galore too hehe

[@leftspeaker2000]

I'd be interested to see you deconstuct a book using this method.

[@Katytastic]

i've been planning to do something like this! i want to take a handful of popular books of various genres and track each of them against this structure to show how versatile it is!

holy heck this just made something click in my head for my wip and i was like WAIT. I WAS STARTING IN THE MIDDLE. I WAS STARTING THE STORY AFTER THE INCITING INCIDENT? I NEED TO BACKTRACK AND START AT THE BEGINNING!!! THIS IS WHY MY STORY FELT SO RUSHED. you have saved me, thank you omg

[@Katytastic]

yay, it's such a wonderful feeling when something clicks! good luck with the writing!!

[@StarlasAiko]

In media res has its place, though. There is no need to start with the first step of the Hero's Journey, you can start with the inciting incident or the threshold or refusing the call. If you feel brave, you can try and start in the belly of the whale.

Oh god, sorry guys! It went very well until things happened with Russia and Ukraine which ended up making the storyline really innappropriate. I plan to write it again but it'll be later in life as it needs a huge rewrite due to needing a new setting. Instead I'm here to work on something new and simpler that I've been planning out ideas for for 2 years

[@AuraQueenDraconis]

LONG POST! I expended upon some of the points to help me use it easier without referring to the video constantly. Hopefully it helps someone! Copy + Paste into your own doc and edit from there! All examples are just that: examples to help show how they fit different genres! MC: Main character Party: Group of friends/colleagues who are going through the story together BBEG: Big Bad Evil Guy Act 1: 1. Introduction - meet MC(s) and the current normal 2. Inciting Incident - did someone die? Is someone being engaged? Company trying to be bought? 3. Fallout - what's happening now that the incident happened? New Normal Falls Apart - 4. Reaction/Rebellious Reaction/"Negative" Action to deal with Inciting Incident 5. Taking "Positive" (plot advancing/helpful) Action to Deal with Inciting Incident 6. Consequence as a result of prior action/What they need to do next - 7. Pressure/Stressful moment 8. Plot Twist! The Stressful Moment is Different than Originally Thought, but not that major (sudden step parents happen here, if applicable) 9. Push (forward)/Results of Getting Through the Plot Twist Act 2: 10. New World/New Normal - New allies are made here, if any 11. Fun + Games (emotional break)/New Romance /starts/ HERE, "old romance" (set from beginning) /highlighted/ HERE 12. Brief return to normal/Old Juxtaposition/Backstory Episode. Any old wounds are explained HERE, minor conflict leading to major conflict in Buildup happens/highlighted HERE - 13. Buildup/Stress building/Major worries or challenges relating to the main plot go here/The party splits here 14. Midpoint/Major detail reveal relating to Inciting Incident (was it MURDER? Is the love interest engaged?)/MC should feel a little lost here 15. Reversal/Resolve most of the stress in the Buildup/Main group gathers back up and return to their original goal - 16. Consequence of Midpoint/Midpoint is addressed directly in this chapter (call for help+fail to get help, etc) 17. Trials/Major investigation or actions due to prior chapter happens here/Actively dealing with the Plot here, but has struggles (house arrest? banning from seeing the lover? does someone MOVE AWAY?) 18. Dedication/Determination to get through trials/If no one is helping, the MC will MAKE things work. MC starts making connections to help them move the mountains ahead of them. Or just climbs the mountains (plans to travel to meet someone who can help, etc). If solving MURDER, gathering evidence strongly happens here (ex: going to the location of the murder, etc) Act 3: 19. Calm before the storm/Things are stressful but have a lover/friends on side. MC is struggling in their dedication. Maybe they can't get get enough evidence, maybe people are telling them to stop, maybe their health is failing 20. Plot Twist 2: Electric Boogaloo: Maybe Bae is Enemae (or friend is eeeevil or something. Betrayal fun) OR efforts in Trials aren’t enough and things are feeling helpless. Could go back to main area and be almost killed or have their cover blown, etc 21. Darkest moment/All hope is lost? Near death experience or even a death experience can happen here. Reflection + result of previous chapter - 22. Power within/”I can do this” - MC determines that they won’t let the previous experience stop them. They NEED to accomplish their goal! 23. Action/Rally the troops - Reaches out to friends/other allies in order to recover and confront the BBEG ("big bad evil guy": anyone keeping things from being as the main characters want it to be) 24. Converge/Tie up side plots - any minor confrontations and mysteries are solved here. If there are personal issues between party members, this is resolved by this point - 25. Battle/Confrontation - deal with the major issue that has plagued the whole story. Maybe converge on an island where the evil is, or talk with the person stopping lovers from getting together 26. Climax/End of confrontation - kill the BBEG/stop the calamity (hi Critters)/run away and elope/break the curse, whatever 27. Ending/Resolution of main storyline/Cliffhanger goes here - things are resolved. You got the lover, the bbeg is dead and things are peaceful again. Adjust to your new normal with a little reflection

Please do more videos like this. This was amazing. Its really cool to see this side of book writing. If I’m writing a contemporary romance, do you recommend this outline?

[@Katytastic]

yeah, totally! just interpret the 27 points in a more contemp romance kind of way! for example "battle" would be like an intense convo, or maybe a confrontation--it's the couple overcoming the last major obstacle that's stopping them from being together. then they get together! (climax) and have their happily ever after / happily for now (resolution)

Wow. This was so helpful. I’m someone who doesn’t typically write outlines but was having difficulties in getting very far in my stories. I have ideas in my head but they are just all over the place.

First time every trying to write anything, fantasy book. Spent most of my time world building, i feel i have a good idea or decent idea at least and an interesting plot but anytime iv tried to map out my story I have always come up empty handed. Blaming my lack of experience, knowledge or intelligence and questioning myself why i thought i could do it. This video has helped me see a really good way of structuring it and really motivated me to get back to the drawing board. Side note: To help myself understand story telling and structure i have been trying to take books like Harry Potter and plot it out like you did in this video to see where other authors would put things to better help me see how i could approach it. Your response to Wintermute is exactly what a new aspiring writer like myself could greatly benefit from. Keep up the great work, your videos are helping a lot of people!

[@freesoul94]

Everytime I start outlining a new story I look over your outlining with scrivener video because it makes it easier for me to figure my story out and where I want things to go.

omg I'd love to see like 10 different authors take the block outlining you have @ the 12th minute mark and just run with it! it would be so interesting to see how different the resulting stories would be, even with all the constraints: the writing style, the overall tone, the characters, the resolution.. they could even fall under different genres, like comedy/romance/drama/thriller. asdfghjk the possibilities! unrelated: I'm obsessed with your handwriting 😍

Thank you so much for this video. SO many of the advice videos out there tend to come across as vague because they don't use specific examples (authors wanting to keep their work a secret til its published). Having something so specific gives the outlining method a real concreteness that others don't, so thank you for sharing. I've had a novel I've been having some trouble with for Nanowrimo this year and I've come back to this video several times to work out details - and its really helped me iron out the difficulties - so again, thank you for this.

[@Pluscelamemechose]

Kat, about the project and why the sisters are estranged: The older sister's project is ethically opposed to the young sister's ideals. When she has to finish the project, she begins to understand the opposing perspective. This draws the sisters closer, which supports younger sister when her love interest turns into a turd. That's when younger sister learns he did the same crap to older sister to claim the project as his. She's galvanized into a avenging heroine. Just an idea.

Kat, the reason I like this format is because it has more beat/chapters that flesh out the 2nd act, which is way more helpful than other novel templates which are rather vague about the 2nd act (and let's face it, the most difficult act to write). If you ever return to this channel, please make a video to further explain in detail the function of each chapter by giving examples from a popular novel. It's really a great structure template that you've come up with, as it's way more clear than others I've come across. Happy writing. See ya round. Peace.

[@ROSE-df4rb]

I’m so glad I heard about this method! It literally saved the book I’m currently writing. I’ve been stuck for a few months now, wanting to write something, but I didn’t know what to write about. A few days ago, I thought "You know what? You’re gonna start writing something." And I found your video. I started with literally zero ideas (apart from the main characters name and the main relationship of the story). I had no idea what it would be. And in almost 30-40 minutes, I had a very good and complete oultine of the book. It’s the first time that I have an outline that is that precise and it will be so helpful. So, thank you so much 💜

Like after finishing a good book or movie and you sit there, taking it in. Reeling in the feels. This outline is amazing. I've had this character and small idea in my head. For years. I really haven't given birth to this yet. Until now. So much unfolded within this outline, piecing together the little sub notes that have been swimming around the basic idea of my character and synopsis. The outline let me visualize how I would piece it together.. Then, it started spilling over to another book idea I've been toying with for even longer. My head was popping off ideas on what would go in those boxes that fit their stories. It made it made sense. You made everything make sense. Thank you so much for this video! Subscribed.

First time trying this for my book that is hard to write and so far it’s helped me let’s hope I can write it not just outline. Great guide thank you for using your story because it gives me examples
