In Episode 13 of The Write Approach we talk with author and podcaster Matty Dalrymple about using a frame to aid you in writing your novel. We distinguish a framework from a conventional outline and talk about how it can benefit both plotters and discovery writers. Matty gives personal illustrations of what prompted the need for developing a frame for her own writing and how it has benefited her.
