A beat
sheet is a structural outline of your novel that ensures you’ve got all your
plot points, pinch points, midpoints etc happening at roughly the right time
within your story architecture. For me, this is where my brightly colored
notecards come in, because I can then begin to break my book down scene by
scene surrounding these crucial points in my manuscript.
Larry
Brooks has some awesome examples of Beat Sheets throughout his posts on his
website. So that’s where most of today’s links come from:

It’s
time to put your plotting skills to the test. Have you identified your tent
posts? Do you know where you’re headed and how you’re going to get there? Give
it a try!
