This Free Book Outlines How to Effectively Plan a Novel
The planning stage is exploratory. It’s where ideas become plotlines, and characters come to life. During this phase, the key story elements are identified.
Everyone has a story within just waiting to be told. Some come from personal experience, some from a long-standing idea or passion, and others from the creative depths of our imaginations.
How often have you thought, “If only I had the time I could write my novel”? Or how many times have you sat down with your notepad, or at your computer and stared at the blank screen thinking, ”I know where I want the story to go, but how does it begin?”
That’s where planning comes in. Allowing all our ideas to be tested and sequenced is what gives structure to the story. Once you transform your ideas into the physical existence of words, is when you can begin to make sense of them.
Finding your story must start with a plan. Planning reveals the theme, plot, characters, and the order of events.
