The EASIEST way to outline a novel (FOR PANTSERS) | NaNoWriMo Writing Vlog @rachelwritesbooks

rachel writes a preptober writing vlog!

WHAT I DIDN'T MENTION in this video is that this isn't a scene-by-scene outline. You could certainly use this technique for a scene-by-scene outline, but I don't like outlining that way. Some of the ideas in my scene list were scene-by-scene, but if there were large gaps between scenes, I didn't fill them with other ideas. Those notecards STILL were placed next to each other chronologically, since Z idea comes after X idea (with Y missing, for example), but I'll fill those gaps AS I write. I'll make a video for this technique later, but since it's NaNo, I wanted to post this in the meantime for those of you still working on your outlines/wanting to outline!

TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 - how I approach writing when I'm feeling bad
2:50 - my preptober strategy
4:52 - my problems with outlining
5:45 - my outlining process summarized
8:14 - outlining with notecards
9:36 - what my book is about
11:24 - outlining plan of action
13:38 - what my scene list looks like
14:47 - recap of my outlining process
15:18 - 1. brainstorm ideas
15:57 - 2. summarize ideas into one-sentence loglines
16:03 - 3. compile all one-sentence loglines into a scene list
16:19 - 4. transfer scene list onto note cards
16:38 - 5. organize ideas by subplot
18:41 - 6. organize notecards in chronological order
19:44 - a note on including numbers on the notecards
20:11 - 7. finalizing outline in scrivener
21:49 - 8. organizing scene notes in scrivener
