I completed and submitted my eleventh short story of the year this evening, a 5,800-word confession.
This is the first story I've written using The Save the Cat! Beat Sheet. I actually outlined the story on January 16, and then I let the outline sit until last week because I don't usually write from tight outlines. I used this outline because it was for a confession set during the summer months and it's time to submit summer confessions.
The final story more-or-less follows the plot I created in January, but I did find myself taking a few liberties as the writing progressed.
Back in January, I outlined two other stories using The Save the Cat! Beat Sheet. At some point in the future, I will probably write those stories, too.
Will I outline any more stories using The Save the Cat! Beat Sheet? It's too soon to tell.
