I haven’t always used
Chapter Outlines. I am finding that
I rely on this tool more and more. Maybe
it is a sign of a failing memory. I like
to think of it as my desire to improve my writing.
I follow a simple format.
I create a heading for each chapter and enter what I want to have happen
within each chapter. That keeps me on
track and saves me from guessing where I want to end one chapter and begin the
next as I write. When I do this of course, it lays out the story from beginning to end.
I couple this with my
conflict and resolution outline. (Posted

writing becomes less of a handicap as I can review these tools and be back into
the art of writing sooner than if I had to reread to remind myself of where I
was creatively and structurally with the story at hand. This is especially helpful when I find myself
working on two or three projects at a
time and find myself a bit confused.
