I'm turning this into its own little database. I've found some articles and info explaining phase outlines, so I'm planning to collect them here.
For those of you who don't know, phase outlining is just a fancy way to outline your novel. You write scenes as "phases", a sentence or two explaining what should happen in that scene. You can outline the entire novel like that. Phase outlines are pretty intense, a full one can be over 10,000 words, but you're never worried about what you need to write. I really loved it and it made outlining, and afterward writing, so much easier.
