User blog comment:Zathronas/Author's Advice: the Outline part 1/@comment-10380701-20140211033544

Ah yes. Outlines. I use a rather unconventional method of outlining. Instead of doing a sypnosis, I do a vague timeline of events of how the story will unfold, filling the gaps myself. Though I only use this for one particular thing I"m doing. It's main advantage is that it's easy to keep track what everyone is doing while you're writing.

As an example:

Day 1:
 * King calls the beset knights of the kingdom
 * Hero meets king
 * Evil Wizard's plan begins

Day 2:
 * Hero visits Town A to gather information

and so on.

Its main disadvantage is that it'll be too vague and requires that you yourself add in the details yourself.

Does this count as an outline? =/
