Larry Brooks Beat Sheet

[Shandor]

I've become a story planner, leaving my panting behind. I've found that I really like using the beat sheet method to help me create the story. The table form also lets me keep track of the timing of the story as each column is a side story as needed.

 

Here is a fairly good example of a beat sheet for a planned book.

There should be a way to move from this view to outline view to the actual manuscript view.

 

 

Is there a way to incorporate a table like this directly into the software?

Hi Shandor,

 

Something like this?

 

 

If you're interested, I posted the template in the Sharing section.
