but here it is. The outline.
http://www.thewritersjourney.com/hero's_journey.htm This is a guide for cinematic pacing. It's the guideline for a vast amount of screenplays, including a bunch of Disney movies. I'm not writing a screenplay, but I needed something to tell me what to keep and what to change. I tried the Snowflake Method

but it didn't work for me. It might work for some of you. My writing is character driven, and I couldn't fit this story into that mold.
Back to the first outline. I added a line of my own at the end of each section, saying what event in my story fit the bill. These are nearly all based on existing parts of the story. I write in short sections, 2 or 3 scenes to a chapter. The next trick is to decide which sections I need, which I don't, and which new things should happen.
It's a start.
