Progress Update

Still chugging along on my intentional outline for Deniable Unit 1. I just hit 80%!!! Not long now 😜

Author: Susan T. Braithwaite

Royal Navy veteran from Scotland. My journey into writing started with a screenwriting certificate program at UCLA Ext. Since then, I've worked as a freelance content writer, erotica author, proofreader, professional beta reader, and content editor. I'm now working hard on my dream writing career: romantic suspense author. When I'm not writing, I can be found drinking too much coffee, obsessing over yarn, and planning world domination with my husband, jezbraithwaite.blog, and our squirrel army.​

  1. Photos by Jez – I'm a Royal Navy Veteran from Scotland and love to get out and about with my wife, susantbraithwaite.com, on our Kalkhoff e-bikes. My faithful camera, Snappy, and the ever-present Lensy (lensball) are always along for the ride to capture the beauty of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Join me as I share photos from our travels, how Lensy views the world & pretty much anything shiny ✨

      Hi Cheri,
      My outlines live in the zone of just enough detail to help me get an idea of the story, but not too much detail that I get lost in it. 
      My initial outline for DU1 was around 8K and went into too much detail—making it difficult to see issues. I whittled it down to a couple of sentences per beat and got it to 1.2K while I went through this intentional outlining stage. After doing all the edits for protagonist, plot, genre, tone, and theme, it now sits around 5K.
      Here’s an example of how detailed it is: 
      14. This is not a date: Elle leaves a bar with Adam. He holds her hand as they walk. She tries to pull away from him, but he pulls her so close that she thinks he’s going to kiss her. Instead, he tells her to play for the CCTV; reminding her that he’s her alibi for the murder—and that it sells it to her boss. For some idiotic reason, she’s the tiniest bit disappointed that he didn’t kiss her. She quickly reminds herself that she’s an asset, there to be used until he walks out of her life. And there is no way in hell she’s going through that again. [Romance beat: No Way 2 Elle]
      When I do the working outline (the final stage of iterative outlining), it will be more detailed. Probably more like screenwriting outlines—GMC, emotion +/-, props, etc.
      How detailed are yours? Do you have a specific method you use?

      1. That makes sense! Mine are a bit less detailed than that, more like 2-3 lines per chapter, but I like your approach better. 🙂
