I’m a pantser, not a plotter . . .
How will this help me?
Writing is like nature—expanding, shifting, and growing. While discovery writing has its magic, an adaptable outline acts as rich soil, giving your story a foundation to thrive while leaving room for creativity. Lisa Cron’s Story Genius explores the myth of plotting vs. pantsing, showing that stories need deep roots to flourish. The From Seed to Story outline is designed to support, not restrict your process. An outline isn’t a cage—it’s a trellis, helping your story grow strong and free.

Who Is Your Story Guide?
My name is Victoria Krouse
If we haven’t met yet, hello! I’m a compassionate fiction developmental editor with a background in editing fantasy, romance, horror, and paranormal manuscripts. I’ve also helped authors outline their stories, navigate revisions, and prepare to pitch to agents.
My goal is to support you in finding clarity and confidence in your creative process. I believe that storytelling often benefits from embracing a slower, more intentional approach to crafting your narrative. I’m here to guide you in weaving your ideas into something truly magical and uniquely yours.
