How to outline a novel | plotting my next draft visually using Scrintal

[@catherinel.7837]

Okay! I have to be honest. I've been seeing a lot of Scrintal videos lately. Honestly too many. 😒 When I saw you uploaded a video this morning, I was excited, but when I saw it was about using, I was disappointed. Since I really like your vibe (it seems very calm to me), I decided to listen to it anyway. As always, I'm really impressed. It was interesting to hear about your project AND to see how you use Scrintal to plot it. 😍 I thought you really seemed to master the software. Your video was the only one I found really interesting to watch. For a moment, I seriously thought about giving it a try. Good job Kayla and great video! 🤗

this is such a fantastic compliment!! I know it can feel repetitive when campaigns like this are happening with the content you enjoy watching, but I really tried to show my story and how I was genuinely using it so that it would still be interesting and valuable for the people watching, and I'm really happy that came through 💛 Thank you so much and thank you for being here! 🥹✨

Love it, this is what I have been wanting to do for my middle grade novel

This was so relaxing and informative to watch. You just made the video more natural rather than everything bombarding at once so its difficult to keep up. Well done. Something i was wondering is you say youll be using this but how do you carry on from this point? Is this just a reference tool? or are you going to go more in depth with like actual writing in this app? Like is it only for note taking or do you have more use for this? Another question does this not get overloaded with too many references? Say like I have a to do list for the week but i dont want to search for my novel notes just to find my to do lists. You know what i am saying? Like say I want to take a hike or bike ride. But when i look through my notes when im writing content for a book i dont want to see my hiking trip in the search results with my novel scenes...you know? what im trying to say is can you separate your life notes/journal from work from personal projects? Or is it all jumbled together in a "all-in-one" note book? If im at work/school I dont wanna be writing research documents and find my home recipes. You get what im saying? Thanks.

I appreciate this run through so much! I have gradually become more and more of a plotter and I have been trying to figure out exactly what method/program works well with my brain.

[@KaylaKempers]

glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I'm in the same boat, trying to get that plotting muscle built. I feel like it will save me from so many headaches in the future 😂

@@KaylaKempers Yes, same! I'm very intimidated by the editing part of my current manuscripts and I think that better plotting would have helped some. 😂
