Story
Powerful themes are never incidental. They emerge from the conjunction of strong plots and resonant character arcs. This means you can learn to plan and implement theme. In doing so, you will deepen your ability to write not only stories that entertain, but also stories that stay with readers long after the end. Conscious mastery of theme will elevate every story you write and allow you to craft fiction of depth and meaning. Take control of your story via a powerful implementation of theme.

Story
It's every novelist's greatest fear: pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into writing hundreds of pages only to realize that their story has no sense of urgency, no internal logic, and so is a page-one rewrite. The prevailing wisdom in the writing community is that there are just two ways around this problem: pantsing (winging it) and plotting (focusing on the external plot).

Indispensable
This book is exactly what I needed to help me organize the complex ideas I have into a workable and cohesive plot outline. I have always struggled pantsing and consider myself to be a a plotter. This book has inspired an outline so complete that I will consider it a first draft. If I spend my time here now, the savings on revision time will be substantial. That said, a more pared down version will be helpful to even the most stalwart of pantsers.

Great Resource
I purchased this book after author Dan Brown (The DaVinci Code) recommended it in his Masterclass. Weiland has some great guiding questions for getting started and then gets into more concepts/questions for writers who want to create more detailed outlines. I also appreciate the inclusion of the common errors beginning writers tend to make, and suggestions for how to avoid them. The references for additional supporting resources available online are invaluable. I opted to purchase a digital copy of the supporting workbook after listening to this audio. My only wish is that a supporting pdf file was available to help navigate Outlining Your Novel as the audiobook is the kind of resource I will want to revisit in sections as I work through my outline.
