Go from Idea to Outlineâ€”And Finish Your Draft Without Freaking Out

When writingâ€™s going well, it can be immensely satisfying, not to mention lucrative.

But, all too often, this isnâ€™t the case.

In the beginning, sure. Enthralled by your story idea, you write tons of material. Your word count grows in leaps and bounds. But the deeper you get into your screenplay or novel, the more difficult writing it becomes.

The words no longer flow freely; they trickle out.

Panicked, you stare at your computer screen, wondering, What happens next?

You have no idea.

Youâ€™ve run out of steam.

Youâ€™re stuck.

You end up with a half-finished draft. Thousands of words that go nowhere.

After a few cycles of this, you may question whether youâ€™re even cut out for this writing gig, after all.

Donâ€™t lose faith!

The problem isnâ€™t with you. Itâ€™s with your method.

Hereâ€™s one solution: outline your screenplay or novel before writing it.

With such an outline in hand, you wonâ€™t get stranded. Youâ€™ll know where your story is headed; you wonâ€™t have to decide where to take it.

You can navigate blank pages without panicking.

With this writing skills guide, youâ€™ll learn how to quickly produce such an outline. A 3-part process, it looks like this:

Make Sure Your Story Idea Isnâ€™t a Time-Sink

No matter whether youâ€™re a â€œplotterâ€ or a â€œpantser,â€ you should develop your story idea first, so it has the 6 components all compelling stories share.

This way, you can maximize its potential, making sure it has enough substance to sustain a full-length film or novelâ€”and enough appeal to attract an audience to read (or watch) it.

Build Your Story Structure

Even a great idea can collapse if it doesnâ€™t have solid structure to support it.

Basically, when well executed, story structure ensures your screenplay or novel becomes progressively more interesting as it goes along.

In addition, because youâ€™ve figured out structural signposts in advance, you wonâ€™t be traversing â€œin the dark,â€ for very long.

Youâ€™ll always have a bearing to head toward, a destination just around the corner. Hence, youâ€™re unlikely to become so discouraged that you abandon your project altogether.

But if you want to boost your confidence and enhance your efficiency, then youâ€™ll want toâ€”
