I'm basically a screenwriter so I attack a novel as I would a screenplay. I spent weeks or months trying to figure out a concept, then longer figuring out what is it really about. Then I list the major beats before I go to THE BOARD. Once THE BOARD is complete I begin to actually write. I follow a mix between Joseph Campbell and "Save The Cat" that I have developed into my own method. I'll explain my method in a later post.
Here is the outline for "The Father". This collection of sentence fragments and misspelled words is the fruit of months of painstaking work. Hopefully it will provide some insight. Once again, please follow the blog and comment. I will answer any and all question posted in the comment section.
Thanks for visiting.
