Hey YWS! One time I found a fantastically beautiful post here with a fantastically beautiful template for outlining a plot. I know that sounds really lazy, but it was so ...

I'm going to talk about something totally different. Prologue pressure. Often people feel as though they need to have a prologue. Guess what? You don't. I only use prologues if ...

Since you asked for help, here's a summary of what I told you in chat: So, this article is a bit vague. You're telling me that telling is okay. But ...
