when i write an outline, i start by writing a rough list of the moments i want to happen. they dont have to be detailed yet, just key scenes, events, or turning points roughly in the order they occur.

then i begin to group those moments into chapters and i usually do 1 or 2 scenes per chapter. tho that number might change depending on long or complex the scenes are. like some chapters might only contain a single important event, while others might hold two smaller ones.

keep the outline flexible!!!! as you write, you can move scenes around, add new ideas, or remove ones that no longer fit. i find my finished story is usually nothing like what i started with. for example AITV was only supposed to be 10 chapters and ended up being 15 lol.

i also keep a physical sheet of paper with my outline written down on it cause i find it better to be able to refer to it at any time. and its also easier to jot down new ideas, draw arrows, or add notes, etc.

hopefully this advice was helpful!!! ❤️❤️ my writing style is very chaotic so i find having an organized outline is a lifesaver
