Stay Motivated With the Right Outline!
Consistency
Any book on creating your author career will tell you that the only way to make it is to write consistently.
However, after having worked with hundreds of authors, I can tell you that the biggest issue is staying motivated throughout the story.
Cookie Cutters
Most of the books that address outlines and how to structure books are addressing one personality types out there.
The cookie cutter approach is still wildly flexible and highly creative. It simply gives you the structure you need for a great story.
Work-For-You
Of the other three personality groups, there’s really only one group that doesn’t seem to fit in at all, and they’re a rare breed in the writing world.
Whatever your personality type is or how you present, using the right outline approach and the correct writing routine can make all the difference.

The Problem
Not all of my outlines succeeded. No matter how hard I worked on them, or how hard the author in question worked with me, there were some outlines that just tanked.
They didn’t motivate. They didn’t make the writing more efficient. They didn’t alleviate problems.
Digging In
I’m not the type of person who is comfortable with seeing a problem and doing nothing. I attempted to create several solutions, and some worked better than others.
However, when I dug into the problem more, I realized that people create differently. So why would one outline or approach work for everyone?
The Solution
Once I’d made that epiphany, it was all research and finding guinea pigs to test drive different approaches. I searched for authors who would allow me to pepper them with questions to discover what worked best for each of them.
And that’s how the Story Stamina System came to be.
