Outlining.

I'm outlining like the guy with the chalk at a kool-aid party.

I'm anxious about the NaNoWriMo thing and want to be prepared. I mean, really, really, hard-core serious prepared.

Right now I'm doing the infamous snowflake that They [TM] tout on the NaNoWriMo forums. It seems useful so far, but the month is still young and I still have time to use even more outline templates I find online. ;)

Got any URLs with outlining advice for the completely hopeless? I don't outline my short fiction, so it's a completely undeveloped skill.
