Many writers who swear they dislike outlines are thinking of them in the wrong ways. Writers either love outlines, or they hate them. Outlines are not meant to trap you into preset ideas or sap your creativity before you start the first draft. At their best, outlines can help you flesh out your most promising story ideas, avoid dead-end plot twists and pursue proper structure. Sketching out your plot and characters in your first draft can take months of trial and error. Armed with a solid premise, you can now begin sketching your ideas for this story. Write a list of everything you already know about your story. Even if you have no idea how these scenes will play out in the story, go ahead, and add them to the list. At this point, your primary goal is to remember and record every idea you have had in relation to this story. Whenever you encounter an idea that raises questions, highlight it. If you do not know why your character is fighting a duel in one scene, highlight it. Because this is the most unstructured step of your outline, this will be your best opportunity to unleash your creativity and plumb the depths of your story’s potential. Every time you think you have come up with a good idea, take a moment to ask yourself, “Will the reader expect this?” If the answer is yes, write a list of alternatives your readers will not expect.
