      @that_writer_girl_99 The wall is not our friend. 😀
      For starting chapter outlines, I usually have already written at least a little of bit of my book so far. Maybe a page, a paragraph, a chapter, a prologue. something that will get me going. From that, I’ll simply describe what happens in a few sentences and stem off of that for planning chapters. On the other hand, if I haven’t written anything, just start with how you think it might start. Brainstorm. I have more advice…:D, but I’ll get back to you tomorrow with nice, organized instructions if you still need help.

        @that_writer_girl_99 Yeah. I find straightforward is nice. 😛 Hopefully you’ll be able to work something out.

            @that_writer_girl_99 I think a good way to solve that might be with the infamous “what if?” question. Like “what if the protagonist said this? And what if so-and-so reacted like this?” That might help get chapter into motion.

                  @that_writer_girl_99 I do it all the time too 😛 I hear other people talking about the method, and I just stare at them as I try to comprehend why I’d forgotten it.

                          @Jane-Maree I’m going to call it a night. I succeeded in spending an hour and a half total rewriting the same travel scene. In the end, I just decided that the “disaster” was that my character began to lose her mind 😛

                          See you around!
