You ' d be a billionaire <| sep |> Yeah , pretty sure , especially one as junior as Manchin . Your other senator is far more powerful . <| sep |> Perhaps the next trend will be signifying social affiliations through less than and greater than signs ? <| sep |> Everyone works differently . There is no right tool , because some people would like a whiteboard , or index cards they can stick on the wall and rearrange or replace , while others use Excel to arrange scenes line by line , or even Word ' s Outline format . Whatever works . The same goes for what ' s in the outline . Some writers produce outlines that are effectively summarized versions of every scene . Others have minimalist outlines that are just the beats for the story . It ' s a craft question as much as a tool question , and there ' s no pithy answer . I will said , my personal advice for all new writers still learning , an outline that details what every scene ' s supposed to be doing in the story will likely be very helpful . Not only for staying on track , but also for shaping the story this means ensuring the plot holds together , that the protagonist ' s journey is hitting good points , and so on . A longer answer is effectively answering the question teach me how to write . For that , there are literally thousands of free online resources from vids to podcasts to books to blogs to websites and many more . Do some Googling , readwatchlisten up , and study the craft . Learning provides knowledge , and that leads to the end .
