People are always explaining how to be inspired or edit a book, but what about the actual planning?
I usually plan using an outline. Remember those school days when you had to take notes? The outline format is very helpful when planning because you get to go scene by scene digging deep into the main idea. You always are able to understand everything that happens. All you have to do is start with a title. What will your story be about? Is there a word that can describe it? Use it. After start with part one of your book. Mark it with Roman numeral one. Then using a letter, write chapter one. You are now able to outline the main ideas and using numbers, lowercase letters, and lowercase Roman numerals. When finished go into the next chapters and then the next parts using the outline format. I hope I helped. Thanks for coming!
