October Novel Prep Challenge

Like a lot of you, I want to get started. I've been looking at the up-coming assignments. On day 2 we are to do outlines. One method offered is the Snowflake Method. I started reading the steps. It's give nothing about an outline. On step 7 you should have a page outline. Before that is a fair amount of work.

I don't see why the Snowflake is listed as you would have to do a lot same stuff again in the up-coming weeks; not to mention that according to the directions some of these steps should take days to do.

Any here is a link to an outline for a novel that seems pretty straight forward and is just an outline, not synopsis, and then an expanded synopsis, a page for each character, including birthdays, why that mattes I am not sure. Age I can see, but birth dates?

To Dream, perchance to write...

"Invalid Item" 

They cling to the bones, linger in the heart and sing to you when you're asleep.

Stories are good company: They wait for you, are always happy to see you, don't eat very much and rarely leave messes.
