I'm creating a story that takes place on scadrial Era 2, It won't use any of the pre-established character, but maybe a few cameos (it also may reference the Set), I have the outline here: If you could ask questions about this mess, thus giving me the oppurtunity expound on the idea in a relevant way to my projected audience, that would be appreciated. (think of it like real time audience testing) if you could critque my ideas that would also be nice Background: The main character (Working name: Caduel) lost his arm as a child while working in the factory. Despite the tragedy of the event he did gain two things from the experience, the ability to burn iron and a mysterious slug like creature that shape shifted into his new arm. Six years later Cad works for "Travin's Allomantic Services", sketchy for-hire buisness that rents out a variety of allomancers for both legal and less-than-legal jobs. It is only when several of the hired allomancers go mysteriously go missing that Cad's curiousity gets the better of him cause him to get wrapped up in a web of conspiracy, politics, and hemalurgy. It is up to Cad to use his power, his wit and boundless luck, stop the atrocity or lose everything he's ever known, and perhaps a friend he didn't.

Greetings pals. I'm kind of new to the forums, so if this post doesn't belongs here, please excuse me and erase or move it. I was wondering if any of you knows where (if possible) to find some of the outlines that Sanderson have wrote and used before witing a whole novel. You'll see, I'm a amateur writer and this would help me a huge lot to learn how to propperly outline a story (beacause i think my current outlining method doesn't quite works well). If any of you can point me in the right direction by telling where to find one of BS's outlines, or explaining how does he makes his outlines, it'll be a huge help to me. Thanks a lot!
