How to Outline a Novel Using Plottr

I share how I outline/plot my novels using the Plottr software. This method I outlined in a FOLD workshop previously, and decided to do a dedicated video showing the whole process specifically using Plottr. If you attended that workshop, I have updated some things since then which I include in this video. *IMPORTANT NOTE: since I filmed this, Plottr has changed their pricing so the pricing I mention in the video is no longer correct. Please visit the website to see the most up to date pricing. It also now has a 60 day trial period.
