I've been stuck on how to outline my non-fiction work-in-progress and I'm excited to get started on this!
Thanks for sharing.

I'm going to link it to my blog post tomorrow. I'm going to try to apply it to my latest picture book manuscript & see if it'll work. If nothing else, it should help me with my middle grade novel. Thanks.

Will be checking this out, and linked it to my blog, too! Thanks for sharing---and putting on teenlit authors, would not have found otherwise.

Thanks for the article. I saw it in Wolverton's "Kick in the Pants" also. And it couldn't have come at a better time: I am just starting a novel, so I think this can really help give me some direction.

And I hope you don't mind but I put a link to this article in my own blog over at jeannetomlin.blogspot.com and recommended it on a couple of forums where I post. :)

Really an excellent article. Thanks.

This makes more sense than the worksheets that want you to profile your characters based on looks and money, with a few plot questions in there. I have trouble with plots (borrowing from others always works), and these questions center around keeping the story moving with the plot ideas and such.
You really should thank David Farland for linking you in his e-mail. He IS amazing.

I also saw Dave's recommendation. I had complained to him about my difficulties outlining. This is a different way of going at it and I'm going to try it on my next novel.

This is great stuff, useful not only when getting started on a novel but after the novel is written. I am planning to go through and see what areas of my novel I can strengthen using these questions and examples. Thanks!

Thanks for this. Dave Farland suggested this in his latest "Kick in the Pants," and now I see why. Your examples and explanations help a great deal and cause one to pause and really think about underlying motivations. I'll be linking to this in my blog as well.
