Brandon Sanderson's Methods for Outlining

Use the Microsoft Word Document Map

To view the Document Map, click the View tab on the ribbon and select the Document Map check box in the Show/Hide group. A pane displays on the left side of the Word window. By default, the Document Map displays. Click on any heading in the outline to quickly jump to that section of your document.

Make paragraph headings and stick other ones underneath.

When you start a new book, open a new document. Name it "The Book Guide" ie. "The Elantris Book Guide."

Put CHARACTER, SETTING, PLOT

Go down the list writing down who are my main characters and write down ideas as you're brainstorming. Plugging in the holes.

"How are my characters driving the story?"

People want character and conflict.

You need to take a mundane idea and an extraordinary idea and wed them.
