Professional Plot Outline Mini-Course by Holly Lisle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was an easy read. I took copious notes so that when I get ready to outline November’s NaNoWriMo I will be able to follow through. Though a lot of it feels like other books I have read on the subject, Holly Lisle’s personality shows through.
Ms. Lisle left plenty of examples off the top of her head. Because instruction given in other books don’t have examples, I find when I try what they present, it turns out to be quite a mess. Needless to say, I will not delete the book. I want it to be easy to refer back to in the next couple months.

If you’ve finished other novels in other NaNo years, once this November is over I’d like to hear a post about how this book worked for you with your plotting this time.
Knowing me it will be a combination of methods but this may play into it and into the editing of the other 11 books in trying to get all the threads woven together. I do think her index card method of laying out the plot may help me in my unfinished Camp NaNo.
Great. I’d really like to see someone take a How-to book, and work the suggestions with their WIP Any WIP, then blog about that. I think not enough folks think along those lines in reviews. Would you think of doing that?
I doubt I will fully implement her ideas but I would blog as to what worked for me. Since I am into reading these kinds of writing books, do you have one or two you would like to suggest?
