As I am plotting my new work, I realize that I do short-term outlines with an ending in mind.
What is your style?
Some more traditional forms of outlining:
- Writing scene summaries on notecards
- Making a bullet-point list of scenes
- Writing a synopsis
- Writing any ideas on post-its, in notebooks, on scrap paper, in your phone, whatever
- Making playlists that correspond to your story
- Daydreaming scenes and snippets
- Writing a terrible first draft of pure drivel and then rewriting based on what you discovered
- Talking out ideas with a friend/CP
- ANYTHING that involves thinking ahead in your story
