A great podcast with some super outlining ideas. I am for the most part a panster and don’t outline. But I do create a basic mindmap with locations/settings which keeps me on track. It is a total mess by the time the story is completed as things get changed, often. I did like the idea of the snowflake method though. Thanks.
Thanks for listening, Darlene. I like the idea of mind mapping just for keeping on track at least to start with.
I’ve heard a lot of people like the Snowflake method, I could never get into it myself. 🙂
