THE TALEFINCH WRITING DESK
Find the unexpected turn. Build a story around a character, a conflict, and a choice that changes everything.
NEED A SPARK?
An outline is more useful when each chapter changes the situation. Begin with the protagonist’s goal, introduce an obstacle that tests a weakness, and make the climax depend on a choice rather than coincidence.
Compare the available plot directions before choosing one. The selected plot transfers its title, summary, and chapter goals into the workspace. Add your cast and review the direction before confirming the outline.
