Organization Systems

If you want to write a good story, you have to organize the ideas for the story first.

Organize Information

Alaphabetical Order
Writing in alphabetical order is easy. You go A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z. Alphabetical order comes in handy when filing, or when preparing an index for a story.

Outline
Another way to organize is to make an outline. To make an outline you simply have to organize the bits and pieces of information you have gathered while brainstorming. The main ideas are listed next to roman numerals. List all the less important things beneath them next to letters, in alphabetical order. Once this has been completed you are ready to begin writing.

Chronological and Numerical Systems
Chronological and numerical systems are used for organizing a table of contents. Or chronological and numerical systems are used for other things such as timelines, and pages of a book. It is fun! Numerical systems are arranged by a series of numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...Chronological systems are based by dates
