A Transcript of... Organize 10 Outline Again And Again |
|
Welcome back to another episode of Writing Tips for Content Creators. We're right in the middle of a series on outlining and organizing as a way to become a better write -- and as a way to be able to write more content. Here's the 10th tip in the series... 10. Outline Again And Again. A common mistake of many new writers is that they are so eager to write, they want to dive into a project immediately without giving much thought to process or content. Perhaps you have an idea but it's only half-baked. By using ideas that haven't been thought out very well you usually end up with a poor info product and a lot of frustration. (How many times have you quit a project and started a new one?) For this reason, if you are just starting to get involved with writing, you need to first learn about and understand the importance of OUTLINING your project. I always start any non-fiction writing project by constructing an IN-DEPTH outline. I jot down every idea that I want to share in the book (original ideas and researched ideas) and then I organize it into a logical flow for actually writing the content. BUT, it doesn't end there. As I am actually writing the book, I continue to tweak the outline. I add more subpoints along the way. The point is to continue EXPANDING each point and subpoint until you have covered everything that is needed in order to comprehensively and clearly share the information your readers need. Once you have an IN-DEPTH outline, the writing is easy. Who couldn't write ONE PARAGRAPH about each subpoint? That's really all it takes. |
