The Snowflake Method

I recently discovered a method called the snowflake method. This is a method for writing a book. You start off with a triangle. These are three main conflicts in your story. Once you have these you branch off and get more and more detailed. This is also a great way to help write summaries of your novel in short sentences that cover everything, like you might need for a query letter.

This website is a great resource and goes into more detail about the snowflake method.

Tip: When you have an idea for a novel, no matter how small or insignificant it might be, write it down! The biggest lie you can tell yourself is that you will remember what it was.
