Many aspiring authors think outlining will make their book feel rigid, formulaic, or boring.
The truth?
A good outline shouldn't limit your creativity. It should give it direction.
In Episode 3 of our Getting Started Micro-Series, Larissa Soehn shares three unconventional ways to build an outline that feels natural, engaging, and uniquely yours.
You'll learn:
- Why your best chapters often come from topics you can't stop talking about
- How to identify whether you're naturally a fact-driven or story-driven communicator
- Why some of the strongest chapters begin with a conversation between you and a younger version of yourself
If you've been struggling to organize your ideas—or if the thought of creating an outline makes you want to run away—this episode will help you approach the process differently.

You'll learn:
✨ Why the way you've successfully completed past projects may reveal your ideal writing process
✨ How writing a book is really a problem-solving exercise
✨ Why your book doesn't need to start with Chapter 1
Whether you're a verbal processor, a planner, a "fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants" creator, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you discover how your brain naturally approaches writing a book.
