To have a well structured novel, we need to develop story structure in several layers. The highest layer of plot is Storyline. Then we have three-act structure or other similar common story structures. After that we have Synopsis and based on that, the Scene List. Finally we have the novel words itself. Does the order of writing novel structure layers really matter when writing a novel? The answer: it depends. For some writers, a detailed plan is essential to keep the story on track. Others thrive on spontaneity, letting their story unfold as they write. The key is to find the creative paradigm that aligns with your personal writing style and preferences.
