+# Idea to Novel Superstructure: Emacs for Writing
+Saturday, Nov 28 2020, 10:09 AM - 10:19 AM  
+Bala Ramadurai
+
+You want to write a novel, but you don't know how to create an
+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 a single-line plot for a novel
+-   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.
+
+We will use:
+
+-   The snowflake method -

+-   The seven-point story structure -

+
+-   The original emacs writing template -

+<https://tonyballantyne.com/EmacsWritingTips.html>
+
+-   Some spices from the speaker's kitchen

+Back to the [[schedule]]
+
+All times are approximate, and we might shuffle talks around as needed. Please check https://emacsconf.org/2020 a few days before the start of the conference for instructions on how to watch and participate.
