9 common book outline structures (& why they may or may not work for you!)

This video is a basic guide to many common plotting structures: 3 act, 4 act, 5 act, kishoutenketsu, Hero's Journey, Heroine's Journey, Save the Cat and my personal favorite, Take Off Your Pants. I give examples of plotting books using these outlines, both consciously and unconsciously...and also why I sometimes struggle with them, why you might too, and why they don't always help with the worst part--the middle!
