The Novel Approach planning worksheet is a quick and easy way to start capturing and refinding your idea for your book. It is the linear version of the visual blueprint that has been finetuned over the course of two decades by author and developmental editor Elle Carter Neal.

You'll understand the psychology of how a story fits together and you'll be able to choose and develop every scene knowing exactly what effect you want to achieve. From there you can develop a comprehensive overview while also being able to hone in on one scene at a time.
