#Outlining
It's taking time, and there have been a number of setbacks this week, but the WWI documentaries are helping me get into the minds of my characters and the situation they find themselves in.
A basic outline is slowly starting to form.

#Dynalist gets some #outlining basics right and is available cross-platform (webapp). https://dynalist.io/ However, it does not feel anywhere as intuitive and structured as #OmniOutliner.
The one #MacOS-only software that I still miss after over a decade on #Linux is #OmniOutliner. It’s such a simple little #outlining tool that works great with my brain. I have yet to find anything that even comes close to it.

New long drawing video on my tiktok, come watch some outlining with a chill vibe for a little while as I continue my 90s nerd room mural🙏💧
@jonathan I’ve got the bulk of the story outlined and basic notes written. It definitely helps me know where I want the story to go. I do give myself the flexibility to explore and meander. I used to be a #pantser but learned the value of #outlining when I was working on my previous book - The Challenges of Being Me
#Obsidian ist eigentlich keine dedizierte #Outlining-App, aber irgendwie auch doch. Denn schon mit den Basisfunktionen können mit nur wenigen Einstellungen und ein bisschen Eingewöhnung Outlines erstellt und produktiv genutzt werden ...

Just realized that a throw away detail in My First Faerie Novel is actually a vital element in My Second Faerie Novel, and feel like my subconscious must be rather clever.
I’ve finished doing the chapter summaries of my 4th draft, and this week I’ll be doing an outline for the 5th draft. I need an outline because I’m planning on some major changes, so this is a big rewrite.
Part of my outlining process is putting together music playlists to make a kind of soundtrack to the story. I use music a lot in my writing, both to brainstorm (aka daydreaming story ideas) and during the actual writing process. It helps me get my head into the story quickly. I prefer using instrumental soundtracks from movies, TV shows and video games. I can’t write to music with lyrics. I find that distracting.
Anyone else into using music as part of their writing process? How does it work for you?
