I Tried the Snowflake Method on My NaNoWriMo Book

Hi Writers!

In today’s video I try the Snowflake method of outlining. I went straight to the source material to find out more about it, and I’ll be explaining the 10 steps and trying them out for myself. This video should give you a good idea of the method itself, pros, cons, and how it fits with writing styles likes pantsing or plotting. I hope you enjoy!
