Coffee with Carma | Episode 466

Have you ever tried to outline your book with the Roman numeral structure you learned in school? Did that make you feel completely stuck? In this episode, I use Plato’s Allegory of the Cave to explain why. I show you why that rigid, inherited outline might be the wrong shadow you’ve been staring at your whole writing life. I walk you through a couple of structures you can use instead. And I share why most books blend more than one. If outlining has always felt like a chore, this episode will change how you see the whole process.
