Novel Scenes Chart

Want to help support the author?


So let’s just say you’re a plotter. Or maybe a pantser trying to learn how to become a plotter. You need this chart. Fill it out before you start your first draft, and you’ll be 70% less likely to make huge logistical errors and/or have plot holes so big you could drive a Chevy through them. And my favorite part? The satisfaction of checking off each scene as it’s complete. You’re welcome.

*Black bars help visually separate chapters. To clear my example information, simply highlight the cells you want to empty and push “delete” (not “backspace”).

    This chart and your plotting worksheets are very helpful. But, how do you decide which POV to use for each scene, and where to break a new chapter? Thanks!
