15 story beats. Star Wars surprisingly sticks very tightly to the Save The Cat! outline.

I’m currently taking lots of notes from Grok’s advice. In the future I’ve planned to write one novel with each outlining method recommended and then post a detailed article about each with a real life case study. It’s a long-term project that is going to take me years, but it should be interesting.

I’ve already had that experience. If I write a novel without taking notes beforehand, my writing doesn’t feel that tight. Sometimes I even lose interest as a writer when I freely write a story. Readers will surely lose interest even quicker with such a book.

I’ll focus on learning basic outlining techniques and adding them to my author system. Should be an interesting topic to explore with Grok.
