Outline your story in 30 minutes

[chocoberrie]

Here's a great writing exercise that I found online! It says it's for novels, but I think the questions and advice are definitely applicable to writing for VNs.

"Outline Your Novel in 30 Minutes" by Alicia Rasley

I used these questions to work on my own story, and it really helped me get a story plan/outline going!

I hope this helps! ^_^

Thanks for the link, choco! This seems like a really cool exercise, and I'll have to try it with my new project.

I'm so happy! \

I outlined my story roughly using this method and today I actually strarted writing my visual novel.
I was never able to write conversation but today I did just that. I'm so proud of myself. I'm making a visual novel I myself would want to read and I think that helps.

What's even better is I found an artstyle I really love and I designed all my character's love intrests!
I owe alot of it to the background music of a japanese radio site!
