Good morning, squiders! Last week we started talking about the basics of outlining. We’ll finish that up today. What are the parts of an outline? Again, this varies wildly from author to author. A basic outline, the one most people
What is an Outline?
Okay, squiders! Let’s dig into outlines. What is an outline? In the most basic terms, an outline is a plan you make before you begin a story. You’re probably familiar with the form they teach you back in elementary school
