Plot and Outline Fiction in Minutes
Create your own resource with plots and outlines without stress
Almost every fiction writer would love to create outlines of a story, either a short story, a novella, or a novel. A story outline is a great guide for an author to know roughly the course the story will follow. Decide on the setting, place, and time of your story. An outline needs to be a single sentence narrative, which will serve as a template for every draft the author creates. The wants and desires of the protagonist need to be highlighted. Add a splash of conflict to keep the story moving.
A good plot needs to have a good premise, with characters both protagonists and antagonists, a storyline, with a progression of events, conflicts, a series of scenes, and a final climactic end to the story.
A plot outline is defined as a prose telling of a story that can be adapted into a screenplay. An outline needs to have a logical sequence of events for your story. Use plot devices to propel your story forward. A plot device is a storytelling tool or technique. An example of a plot device is a character’s simple flashback, which helps us know and understand the character.
The five types of plots are the Exposition where the story begins, the Rising Action where the main problem or conflict is revealed, the Climax of the story, the Falling action, and the Resolution when the story nears the end and the protagonist has undergone a transformation in their life and world.
