Outlines are just abbreviated plot lines. You can organize it however works best for you. It's a skeleton to work with that helps you see if your ideas will create a realistic person or someone with two heads and no feet. My outline showed me that I have some holes and that the place in the story where I was going to start may not be the best point.

Short story--an outline is a tool for you. Do it however works for you!
