It's All About The Outline.

When Writing your very own horror story, the very best writers have an OUTLINE to draw from. An OUTLINE is really only a GLORIFIED GROCERY LIST.
All good stories have a few key elements that suck in the reader and make the particular story, a Page turner.
You've got to; and must have, one of (or all of) three only, possible plots.

MAN AGAINST MAN.
MAN AGAINST NATURE
MAN AGAINST "HIMSELF"

2) CHASE SCENE or two.
3)get to know and then kill off a very goode nature'd or just goode character or three.
4)Beginning , Middle and END.
5. Plausibility.
6)BAckstorey of characters and plot.

I've never been a fan of outlines myself. I have things in mind when i write, a beginning, ending, character's and such but i dont have everything planned out before i write. I prefer to let the story speak for itself and have situations and things come out of the events and the writing.

Obviously i plan things, i never start writing a story unless i know the ending beforehand. What i usually find myself doing is that while i'm writing one thing, im always thinking about the next one in the back of my mind.
