You hear me bark about plans all day, but have you ever wondered what one even looks like? Well, I've got one to show you. Since I've just finished Necromancer For Hire: The Circle of Life, I'm gonna release the plans I used. This plan was around 4k words long, and it produced a novel 37 chapters long.

This was a raw first draft and I changed several things in its transition to novel.
