WRITE YOUR NOVEL WITH THE SNOWFLAKE METHOD (SIMPLE EXAMPLE So this post is going to tell you how to build up a novel outline, piece by piece. (For a reminder of plot basics, go here .) The idea of the “Snowflake” method is that it’s circular and incremental. So you don’t build your outline like this: Chapter 1: X happens, then Y happens. Chapter 2: Something else happens.
