There are many reasons to write with an outline, from figuring out the structure of a plot to keeping track of character movements to making sure that characters have a satisfying throughline – but outlines aren’t the only way to get there. In this workshop, we’ll look at tools and approaches other than outlines that can help keep moving your story forward while making sure it isn’t going off the rails, from recaps to mind maps to headlights. Feel free to bring any tools that you use in writing without an outline to share with the group!
