The 3 Act, 9 Block, 27 Chapter structure
There are three main “Acts” in this outline. Act 1 is the Set Up, Act 2 is the Conflict, and Act 3 is the Resolution. Each act then has 3 blocks, or 9 steps, within it. The first 3 steps determine the problem, the next 3 show the effect/conflict with the problem, and the final 3 illustrate a solution to the problem.

I’m outlining right now and I feel like I need a method a little more structured than my usual snowflake approach. When using a method like this in a multi-POV book, would each character/plotline touch on each step?
