I have to admit it. I am the worlds worst outline makers. I promised myself I would at least outline the highlights this time around, because I never write in the same order I outline. It just doesn't always make sense once I get into the story. I have an overall view in my mind how the story should go, but.... Well, I looked up the resources on our calendar page, and I looked at those last year. I tried Scrivener, everyone's favorite, but I was sooooo confused, and didn't have time to learn it. I truly didn't understand the whole mind-mapping thing. Maybe I'm just too old, but I'm not really that old. I'm pretty tech savvy. But I digress. Today I found the perfect method for me. And I already have it on my computer, so that's an added bonus. So, I thought if it was helpful for me, it might be helpful for you.

And it's very easy to move things around in Excel. That wasn't really mentioned much, but that's one of the big things about mind-mapping that I did like. It's not that easy to moved things around using word and the old bulky Roman Numeral outlines. I am so stoked about this!!! I'll let you know how it goes as I progress through it!

Sincerely,
Marci Missing Everyone
