Liselle Sambury | How to Outline a Novel Using Plottr @LiselleSambury | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
I share how I outline/plot my novels using the Plottr software. This method I outlined in a FOLD workshop previously, and decided to do a dedicated video showing the whole process specifically using Plottr. If you attended that workshop, I have updated some things since then which I include in this video.
*IMPORTANT NOTE: since I filmed this, Plottr has changed their pricing so the pricing I mention in the video is no longer correct. Please visit the website to see the most up to date pricing. It also now has a 60 day trial period.

I do an update after having used Plottr for over a year to share some of the new features Ive enjoyed, changes in how I use the program, features I would like to see, and most importantly, do I still recommend using Plottr?
Plottr*: https://plottr.com/?ref=481
*I now have an affiliate link! If you use this to buy a Plottr license, I will get a portion of the sale. This does not affect my opinion of the program, and in fact I did not even have this link when I made this video. But if you want to purchase a license and support me at the same time, this is a great way to do so!

![Do I Agree with Pixars Rules of Storytelling [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EtRxg1sLgjE/hqdefault.jpg "Do I Agree with Pixars Rules of Storytelling [CC]
I decided to dive into some more of these lists of advice! This one is from a tweet thread from Pixars Story Artist. As a disclaimer, I do not think I know more about storytelling than Pixar, and I understand that it will be different in books than it is in movies, but I thought it would be fun to dive into these. Im sharing my opinion, but I hope that youll get involved in the discussion in the comments too!

*Note: this is actually NOT a Pixar short. Shows what I know lol. Its a Disney short. Pixar is a subsidiary of Disney, but this was not created by their studio. I think because Pixar does so many shorts, I assumed it was from them
