+outline. You have a seed idea for a novel, and you intend to expand
+it into a complete story. You have many ideas for a novel, and you
+are wondering how to proceed. You started writing your heart out, and
+you now feel the need to create a framework for a novel.
+
+Worry not, Emacs is here to the rescue.
+
+Listen to this talk to find out how to develop your story idea into a
+framework for a novel, all within your favourite text editor, Emacs.
+
+What you will learn during the session:
+

+- How to write the backbone of the novel, the main character arc
+- How to create characters and write their arcs
+- How to create a story design
+- How to create the scenes design
+- How to plan your novel writing project
+- How to track your project
+
+The modified Emacs template has all the ingredients and flow to start
+from a basic idea to a full fledged thrashed out novel superstructure.
+
+Once you are done with the superstructure, you can use the planning
+and clocking infrastructure to finish scene after scene, thus
+finishing your masterpiece.
