bjornwildeDigging into novel structuring and how to make a useful outline, and I just got a neat suggestion; have a beat sheet to the side of your outline, ideally line up the beat with the scene so you have the reminder of the beat and what emotion you are going for.
I'm still vague on what my kind of outline looks like, but I'm at least figuring out it's up to be to decide how it works. I don't have to do things the way everyone else does. Which is useful since finding any example of what an outline for a novel looks like is amazingly hard to find. ; p
ETA: To clarify a bit, I see lots of suggestions online for processes for how to make an outline, but nothing about how the outline is structured or supposed to look. I think a lot of my confusion is my old HS brain thinking outline means like the outlines they used to have us do in English or History.
