Outlining

I mentioned before briefly how I outline my stories, but I'm going to fully explain here. I'm going to insert pictures so you can actually see what I'm talking about.

***I'm using pictures of an actual plot I'm working on, but you guys won't get to see the entire thing because I can't just give it all away.***


Try to look past my shit handwriting. I tried to make it look better for this so you could actually fucking read it. 


Getting a plot down

Step 1: I take note cards and cut them up in strips, and I take a few of those strips and cut them in half.

Step 2: I take a note card (that I didn't cut up) and color coordinate my different plot/subplots
