I love making a detailed outline, so there\u2019s a lot of information for that item.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">same with research; that comes first or as needed later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most of the other items on the chart are hidden structures that appear in each chapter throughout the series.<\/p>\n<p>I inherited this crazy notion from my days as a modern composer; a lot of us music geeks love hidden structures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to a scene from Alban Berg\u2019s<\/strong> <i>Wozzeck<\/i> and one scholar will say the musical form is based on a minuet, but your ears hear nothing resembling a minuet.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a hidden structure that Berg used to generate material and represent some idea in the narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Joyce used similar formal ideas in each chapter of <i>Ulysses<\/i>: the hour of the day, the episode from <i>The Odyssey<\/i>, the literary style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He used a chart for this puzzle<\/strong>; I\u2019ve seen it &#8212; it\u2019s seven by four feet!<\/p>\n<p>I was inspired by Berg and Joyce, but use different categories for my hidden structures.<\/p>\n<p>Use your own thing, something totally different from hidden structures, but choose something that inspires ideas readily.<\/p>\n<h2>The Development Game<\/h2>\n<p>For me, it\u2019s a game, nothing necessary for the casual reader to comprehend, but enormously useful to me in developing material for the chapter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s some examples.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Every chapter contains a reference to one of the <i>1001 Nights<\/i>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">For example, Sinbad\u2019s compulsion to seek the next adventure, even though they usually end in disaster.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Sometimes these references just generate an image (a tidal wave), sometimes a minor character (a yapping lapdog), and sometimes the narrative concept of the entire chapter (an island turning into an enormous bird and flying off with the hero).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">I took the frame tale of the <i>1001 Nights<\/i>, the Scheherazade story, and divided it into 1001 small phrases, each three to ten words long.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">In the present day scene of each chapter, one of these phrases has to appear.\u00a0 \u201cObliged to stay there for three days\u201d appears disguised as \u201cYou have to stay here for at least three days.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Since the series is about reincarnation, there are pairs of lifetimes where one character creates an action on another character (A murders B), and a future inverted pair of lifetimes where that karma is resolved (B forgives A).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">In these linked stories, this karmic event influences the narrative somehow &#8212; another hidden structure.<\/p>\n<p>My chart tracks over a dozen of these hidden structures.<\/p>\n<p>Some of them dovetail easily with visible character and action choices.\u00a0 Some of them are as obscure as can be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some of them suggest<\/strong> quirky details or unexpected plot twists.<\/p>\n<p>Once I have filled out all the items in the chart, I organize them in order of what goes where in that chapter, tweaking how they will support the action and dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhere in that process, I have an AHA moment of recognizing the main idea or action for the chapter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The beauty part<\/strong>: it\u2019s easy to fill out, and after I organize the answers, I have a detailed outline.<\/p>\n<p>Writing it up follows naturally because I\u2019ve done a lot of thinking and created a lot of inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>With this form, I\u2019ve generated 537 chapters so far.<\/p>\n<p>But my true message is to invent your own, self-motivating methodology for generating material.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As a self-taught writer<\/strong>, it was only later that I learned \u2018traditionally accepted\u2019 methods, so I created something along the way.<\/p>\n<p>As an independent writer, who needed motivation and discipline with no support system to help me, inventing a system for daily practice was crucial.<\/p>\n<p>As an author of a long form series that tested my stamina, discovering a reliable technique was a godsend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I don\u2019t expect anyone<\/strong> to use my chart literally (especially those hidden structures).<\/p>\n<p>But I encourage you to experiment with your own chart for daily practice, and discover unique categories that serve your particular work.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps your chart or checklist changes from book to book, or chapter to article.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the basic wisdom in this method: it breaks things down so you don\u2019t freak out at the mountain you\u2019re climbing, but focus on the steps up the mountain path.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>About The Author<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stephen-Weinstock-scaled.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-29495\" title=\"Stephen Weinstock\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stephen-Weinstock-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Stephen Weinstock\" width=\"113\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stephen-Weinstock-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stephen-Weinstock-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stephen-Weinstock-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stephen-Weinstock-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stephen-Weinstock-640x853.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stephen-Weinstock-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 113px) 100vw, 113px\" \/><\/a>Stephen Weinstock\u2019s epic fantasy series, <i>1001: The Reincarnation Chronicles<\/i>, won Finalist in the Best Books Award for Multi-Cultural Fiction.
