Ultra-Basic Outlines
This leaves the rest of the book development up to the author. Authors who get stuck in one section of the book or Mythmaker personality types who just need the bare structural elements love these outlines. Why? Because they’re going to make their own path their own way anyway. They just need to know what elements are needed.
Ultra-basic outlines are great for authors who need just a little guidance on the mainline of a book. We typically focus on the main plot, moving that line throughout the book using our beats.
