For this challenge, I have outlined episodes 1-4 of The Ninth Circle Book 2, which is to be my NaNoWriMo project for 2016.
This outline covers off the key points in each of the episodes. These are marked as red for an even/action, and blue for a reflection/reaction.
The points that occur together are those that happen immediately after one another in sequence.
