How to use the article outline generator.
What it does. Turns a topic and audience into a working outline skeleton - the point of the piece plus the moves that will prove it.
How to use it. Type your working title and who the piece is for, generate the outline, then edit it ruthlessly. Treat the result as a first argument to argue with, not a template to fill - the outline you disagree with teaches you what you actually think.
Why it matters. An outline written before drafting is the cheapest place to discover a piece does not work. Ten minutes here routinely saves a rewrite.
Your data. The tool runs entirely in your browser - text you paste never leaves the page, and nothing is uploaded to a server.
Good to know
The strongest use is negative: generate an outline, find the section you cannot actually argue, and cut or research it. An outline that survives your own objections survives an editor's.
Where this fits
Working-writer tools guard the commercial side of the craft: the rate, the invoice, the deadline, the agreement. The writing only pays if the paperwork holds, and these do the arithmetic and the tracking that busy weeks push aside - the ten minutes here that protect the invoice are never wasted.
