Outlines • Last activity 08/Apr

For those who are in the middle of a first-draft, in the midst of a re-write, or maybe you need help writing up a synopsis... Post your in-progress outline or synopsis and have a discussion about any issues you're having with your story: How to get to the next plot twist, rounding out your characters, how/what to reveal and when, bringing your book to a close, etc.

Goals

The goal here is to maintain an active discussion for members who are working their way through their story. Even if your problem has been solved, stay engaged with others in the group until you hit the next bump in the road.

Admissions Policies

Fiction only - All stories are welcome, short and long, but this is definitely more for novels in progress. Post your questions/issues anytime with a brief synopsis of the problem at hand with the expectation that group members respond within 3-5 days with solutions, opinions, feedback, or comments.

What we're looking for in members

Be engaged and respectful. Mind the submission schedule, especially if there are active posts.

Inactivity Policy

If you haven't been engaging in any comments or posts for one-two weeks, (depending on how active the discussion board is) I'll email you privately to see what's going on.
