Ken MacLeod: "...very useful in getting from ideas etc to plot and story." Hannu Rajaniemi: "...find myself to coming back to [this] book in the early stages." M Harold Page wrote and sold three novels in 2013, in each case starting from scratch. This handbook shares the creative outlining techniques that enabled him to speed from vision to completed novel, again and again. • No more unfinished writing projects! • Turn sweeping visions into viable stories, fast! • Grow a novel out of anything no matter how vague: an opening; some characters; a story world; a philosophical idea; a theme; a map; a gaming setting... • Conjure up conflicts and story questions to drive your plot. • Write usable outlines "in flow". • Learn to use your storyteller instinct! • Lose yourself in creating stories for other people to lose themselves in.
