I am going o try the snowflake method, but also want to see about other methods. Can wait to listen to the audio on the way to the conference!

Yeah, I tried a chapter by chapter outline. I planned out the entire book and then when I actually started writing I got to chapter three before it all fell apart. I am too much of a panster, even when I do plan. I like the vagueness but set formula the 6 stage allows. 🙂

For now, I use a chapter by chapter outline, but, like you, am still working on finding what works for me. 🙂

I’m sorry it took so long to respond. Life is chaos. 🙂 I agree it has a lot of turning points, but if you look at the hero’s journey model it has a lot of elements and turning points as well. I have yet to really grasp it and apply it. Hauge’s version is just a little bit more straightforward to me, and I can see it mirrored in the books I read and in the three-act plot system as well. I am still learning many different styles and not relying on just one person’s methodology. With life chaos right now, the linear is super appealing. LoL What is your preferred method of plotting?

Ah, but it’s much like life. So many paths and twists and turns. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
