Thanks! Either way, it’s shocking you don’t use any method to outline your books, as they seem like they align with those I mentioned most of the time. The 3 Act Structure is just separating the Plot Mountain into three acts. The Snowflake method is nothing like a snowflake, actually, it’s just a list of 10 steps for planning a novel. Essentially, it starts with a one-sentence summary which you expand to a one-paragraph summary which you expand to a five-paragraph summary which you expand to a five-page summary. All of this because agents usually want to know this stuff and it’s easier to do this on the front end than the back end.

Sorry for the late reply!
