It’s time to start making some DECISIONS about your story, see? And the mini outline is the perfect tool to do it.

Longer than a logline, shorter than a synopsis, the mini outline will help you lay a strong foundation for the journey of your protagonist.

That way you won’t write yourself into a corner later. 

What goes into a mini outline? Find out in this episode. Plus I’ll share some examples of good and delightfully BAD mini outlines from The Devil Wears Prada and Anatomy Of A Fall, and you’ll learn about the slapstick comedy queen who taught Charlie Chaplin everything he knew: Mabel Normand.
