How to Build an Outline so Your November Writing is Productive

National Novel Writing Month is a few weeks away and your outline is currently just a few notes on your phone (if you even have one). If you start November without a roadmap, you will give up (trust me, I’ve been there.)

Your NaNoWriMo Plan in 90 Minutes (Yes, Really!)

In this 90-minute session, you will:

  • Walk away with the beats needed to shape your story.

  • Pinpoint the central dramatic question (CDQ).

  • Develop a basic character template for your protagonist and antagonist.

  • Learn the simple technique that can boost your daily word count by hundreds.

  • Get my Novel Journey Tracker (a word tracker that keeps you motivated!)

Meet Your Guide: Kim Cheel

I'm an award-winning playwright who is passionate about helping writers craft stories that resonate deeply. As a developmental editor, line editor, copy editor, and story coach, I've spent years reading and writing. Some years, I’ve succeeded in writing 50,000 words in 30 days and other years I haven’t. This year, let’s succeed together!

Stop thinking about writing. Start planning to win.
