It's always interesting to catch a glimpse into someone else's outlining technique.

That way--with the Roman numerals and hierarchical format--is the way I was taught in high school. And I absolutely hated it. I still do, frankly. It simply never worked for me, and so I was anti-outlining for a long time. Eventually, I came up with my own method--a more organic, haphazard one--that works for me, and now I'm a firm believer in outlining.

In my opinion, there's no wrong way to outline. There's only "this method works for me" and "this method doesn't work for me." It's up to us to experiment and find the way that works for each of us.

Vijaya · « **Reply #438 on:** September 11, 2020, 01:42:27 AM »

I agree Jeff. Lots of people freeze up at the hyper-organized outline. I tend to do more of a narrative outline for my stories--this happened, then that, etc. But I need a roadmap. Still there's lots of room to write into the dark, a al Dean Wesley Smith.

Sometimes, musicians who make it big often get swelled heads as a result. They become arrogant and obnoxious, especially towards other musicians. We all have examples in mind, I'm sure.

That's why it's nice to find examples to the contrary. Here's one:
