Course Description

The first draft of a novel needs consistency and continuity. That isn't easy to achieve. Mind-mapping offers a way to gain both of those qualities.

  • What if you knew how to create mind-maps to ensure that consistency? And that continuity?
  • What if you had a way to make sure your characters didn’t inadvertently change in the middle of the story?
  • Imagine have a visual diagram to keep your plot on track.
  • What if you could have the synopsis of the novel displayed on a single graphic?  It could be used as a roadmap to control your first draft.


Hank Quense is the author of a number of highly regarded novels and often writes and lectures on fiction writing techniques. His non-fiction book Creating Stories has been praised by novices and published authors alike.

  • Use mind-maps to ensure the first draft is consistent.
  • Create a mind-map depicting the character’s important traits
  • Create mind-map to ensure the plot events and turns are in sync
