Does outlining your novel feel overwhelming… like you have to figure everything out before you even start writing? If you’ve been trying to figure out how to write a book but keep getting stuck at the outlining stage — unsure where to begin or how to structure your story — you’re not alone. And this is where many Christian writers lose momentum before they ever get started. In this episode, I’m walking you through a simple, step-by-step way to outline your story — without overthinking it or making it more complicated than it needs to be. This approach comes straight from my Middle Grade Magic workbook, and while it’s designed for middle grade and YA, these principles work for any novel. What we cover: - How to start with your main character and build your story from there• Why your character needs to fail — and how that shapes your plot• The moment that changes everything (and how to identify it)• Simple ways to make your characters feel real and relatable• How to identify your story’s lowest moment• How to keep your outline simple so you can actually move forward You don’t need a complicated outline to write a meaningful story. You just need a clear path — and the confidence to take the next step. You can start small. You can build as you go. And you don’t have to figure this out on your own. 🔗 Resources Mentioned Get your free book — The Girl Who Didn’t Exist:👉 https://kgauthor.myflodesk.com/thegirlwhodidntexistbook Middle Grade Magic Workbook (step-by-step outlining help):👉 https://kgauthor.myflodesk.com/middleschoolmagic
