I'm revealing the FULL novel outline for the "Butter Book" that we outlined together during our Save the Cat Writes a Novel Outlining Experiment in October 2023 for Preptober. PLUS I'll share a sneak peek at our Butter Book Brainstorming Document in google docs, some pinterest inspo for the story, how I made the google doc look aesthetic for our notes, how you can get access to this brainstorming doc, and more!

Shoot, I missed this one. Last time was so much fun with you and Brittany, but that was ages ago... Well, luckily for me I have one holiday week left to catch up before I have to start teaching again :). Great to see how you are rocketing your career, you've really grown!

This crowd sourced outline is really interesting! You seem so excited about it, can't wait until I can see you working on it. Good luck on finishing up The Secret Curse.

This was an insightful and fun project to watch! Loved seeing the wrap up at the end and would definitely love to read the book once you write and publish it!

Butter books are the best! Thank you for stopping and explaining each point, Bethany. As someone who struggles with plotting / outlining, it was really helpful to have the breakdown. I typically outline in the beginning and write a couple drafts, then rewrite the outline based on what I've gleaned from the drafts. Outlines are supposed to be dynamic and evolve over time. The only time it's set in stone is when the book is published :)

Yes!! 🎉🎉 So glad you enjoyed it, thank you! It was a really cool experiment but yes they definitely evolve over time!

never heard of a butter book before thank you for sharing.

@BethanyAtazadeh 8 ай бұрын

It's a joking title based on the book 7 Figure Fiction and how it says to "add butter" aka story tropes readers love - it's sort of an inside joke that I probably didn't explain that well haha!

@LiviaMortensen 3 ай бұрын

I want to read this book. Tack my money 😍

I searched in Amazon Canada for your "This Notebook is for Planning my novel" - there is another one with the exact same title and description as yours under another author name - Jakart. Is that another version of yours or an unauthorized copy?

@BethanyAtazadeh 8 ай бұрын

Hmm that looks like a copycat unfortunately, very disappointing to see. It looks like they haven’t sold a single copy according to Amazon, and while I’d like to report it as a copyright issue, it’s unfortunately not possible to copyright book titles. Hopefully it will be clear to people that it’s stolen work when they see it. :(

@@BethanyAtazadeh aww that sucks! I am glad I double checked. I will make sure to order the correct copy.

Must be great to write full time cuz I’m here going to school, with all the burden, I hardly get an hour to spend on writing. 😅

@BethanyAtazadeh 8 ай бұрын

I have a son and am a full time mom as well as have other work outside of writing. Assuming things about people when in reality I have only about an hour a day or less to write as well just makes you look rude and foolish. Please be respectful.

I apologise, but I didn’t mean it like that.
