Writing Tip for Outlining (That's probably so obvious and already been done)

[onyisart]

Ok I just thought of this but it's probably already been done somewhere online but still hear me out

Using PowerPoint or Google Sheets to Outline your story.
Whether it's a novel or a comic - you gotta have some inkling of an idea where things are going sometimes
I know not all people outline but I sure as hell do.

Why? Because it's easier to move slides around and shift ideas.
Each slide contains one idea and if you can color code for plot and character arc.

I'm probably late but I felt so smart at 4:15 am this morning when I thought of this!

....Okay this is actually really smart and I'd never thought of it, but I'm totally going to do this now. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, I realized this too when I was reading an article about outlining this morning.
The article suggested using index cards and I thought what is the digital version of that?? - PPT!!

It's a really good suggestion! I just copy the script onto the big blocks of thumbnails, but this is great to visualize how many pages you'll need in the first place, per scene.

Bumping this up for new eyes!

I guess I do something like that in WORD. Just moving paragraphs about. Ideas are highlighted or color-coded until I get around to writing the whole scene(s) for those ideas.

This one is pretty clever.

I was gonna do it on paper but I didn't want to bring out my corkboard! lol
So this came to mind!
