What you said about your timeline sounds very much like the one I use. Not dates and such, but events happening, using just a few words. <br /><br />Of course I'll share the 'arc' stuff with you.Sharronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161519933845819693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855015217081198628.post-66774716559110067112011-08-14T11:26:17.024-04:002011-08-14T11:26:17.024-04:00Clearly, they need to be introduced to the concept...Clearly, they need to be introduced to the concepts of planners and pansters. Planners have an outline and work through it methodically. Pansters write by the seat of their pants, without an outline. I'm a combination, myself. I start out a panster, but sooner or later need to have on a single page where the story begins and where it ends, so it has to be done in one-line sentences. Works for me. :-)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843239483061220089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855015217081198628.post-13229680857491106452011-08-14T09:18:00.347-04:002011-08-14T09:18:00.347-04:00I am probably a bit unusual in that I have always ...I am probably a bit unusual in that I have always liked preparing and working with an outline. I like having a framework; I can still be creative within the bounds I have set for myself, but I also have a sense of where the story is going.<br /><br />I'm not sure that what I use for my own writing is actually an outline, though -- it's probably more like what you describe here. I rely on a timeline that lists a synopsis of the happenings of each day I want to cover in my tale. When I am actually writing a chapter, I might order the details a bit in a rough outline, so that they fit the flow of what is actually being written.<br /><br />Discussion on story arcs sounds interesting! Hope you'll be able to share some of what you learned after you participate in that!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041301706375455739noreply@blogger.com
