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:
