How Would You Plan A Story?

So I have tried to make my own story several times and I was wondering, how do you plan the plot of your story?

Do you write out a script for the whole story beforehand or do you just make it up as you make the story?

I like to get all my ideas down on paper or on a document or notepad app or something, just so I have everything there. I add to it when I get new ideas and I find it helps a lot. I do rough plans of a few of my episodes, so I have something to go off, but I usually just make it up as I write. I pull random inspiration from everything, so I write all that down too so I don’t forget it. I, also, find it helpful to roughly plan out my characters, so that they are consistent. Hope this helps :blush:

Oh ok that’s interesting. So you don’t write out a full script or anything do you? Because I tried to do that but it takes a lot time and effort.

No, I can’t be bothered tbh :joy: I just roughly plan a few main ideas or things I want in the episode and go off of that.

Lol! But seriously though… When I get an idea for a story, even if it’s just a scene or a story title, I create it straight away before I forget. And when I finish writing that idea down and I get stuck I always ask myself what would I do if that happened to me…? because that’s how I fit in choices and that’s how I get my plot flowing

I’m writing my firt story and I have a notebook for it :joy: I planned my story from the beginning to the very end but not too much in detail so I have some space for inspiration :slight_smile: and whenever I have an idea on a scene or something I write it down :blush:

I plan out the basic plot of my story—i.e. how it starts, how it ends, and any major events in between—but I leave the rest to my imagination as I go along. I used to keep a notebook for it, but as of late, I’ve started enjoying planning it all my head.

Thanks, writing down the major events will definitely be really effective and less time consuming for me than planning a whole script like I tried to do previously :rose:.

Yeah, you should definitely try it out! It worked much better for me, too! :revolving_hearts:

Not gonna lie I literally thought of my story and the outline of it in the bath tub. Then went out and scribbled a rough outline and started
