Download The Step Outline Form (no title)

Among the most common problems with screenplays are the Passive Protagonist, and the unfocused Point of View. Years ago, I designed a worksheet that allows you to self-diagnose these problems during the outlining stage. Yesterday I updated the form, put it online, and added some functionality.

The sheet generates a report for POV, Protagonist action, and Screen Time. The online form comes with instructions that you can download from here: http://outline.thestorydepartment.com. You will receive the worksheet right after signing up for my newsletter (sorry if you missed the recent one..).
