How "I" Outline

[Mini Mia]

NOTE: Act 2 is twice as big as Acts 1 & 3, so it should contain 18 chapters, not 9. Nine chapters before the Midpoint, and nine chapters after the Midpoint. There are two parts of Act 2: Act 2a [Midpoint] Act 2b. To be less confusing, you can use a four-act structure instead of a three-act structure. Act 1, Act 2 (Act 2a), Act 3 (Act 2b), and Act 4 (Act 3). In a four act structure, each act would have nine chapters.

Katytastic: i like to divide my acts evenly, but it's all basically the same structure. when act 2 is twice the length of act 1 and act 3, that's because it's divided at the plot points. if you want to look at the 27 chapters that way, the first act would be chapters 1-7, the second act chapters 8-20, and then act 3 is 21-27

FYI: An author I follow uses four acts, because in a three act structure act two is divided by a midpoint, which creates two parts. Act two is twice the size of act one and act three. So, to me, it would make outlining easier by using a four act structure.
