Writers: Plot template?!?
So there are loads of ‘plot templates’ on the internet but none that really give a proper insight into a novel at first read and writers have different preferences. Do you use a plot template? If so which one? or just write it out in paragraphs? Is this easier for you to do? Which technique makes it easier for you when it comes to the writing?
Thanks!
You probably shouldn’t adapt a plot template and fill in the blanks. It’s too sterile, and not attuned to your writing style. You can look at them for inspiration, to see how one might structure a plot.
I personally do outline before I write, and I recommend that you sketch out the structure of a plot. If the plot is centered on a character, try following the important events for that character, figuring out how they are best organized, and move stuff around. The good part about an outline is that radical changes to a plot take very little effort and microadjustment. Of course once you write it out, you’ll see some things as being better ideas, and will have to make some plot-level adjustments. But it’s good to think the plot through beforehand, and get the structure out, even if it’s as minor as knowing what every chapter will be about generally.
