My Ultimate Outlining Tool for Writers
Do you struggle to outline your stories effectively? Do you feel like there's always one more plot hole for you to fix?
Meet your all-in-one story-plotting powerhouse. This template is built to handle the complexity of real storytelling with ample support for multiple timelines, shifting POVs, large casts of characters, layered subplots, and evolving character arcs. Pretty much everything is covered in this template, so it should be very easy to make a copy and customize it for your specific project. Once you have the story outlined, you can make use of powerful filters to instantly view only the scenes that include specific characters, plot lines, etc. Whether you're outlining a brand-new idea or diagnosing gaps in an existing draft, this template reveals what works and what's missing.
I created this for personal use and credit much of The Forgotten Colony's and Us Before Them's cohesion to how detailed the framework is. It takes some time to fill in, but trust me—it's worth it.
Happy writing!
