I'm writing a book – more as a hobby than anything else.

As an amateur _I often get lost_ regarding the extent I should include in the chapters. But the greatest problem for me is that I did not define a specific goal to be reached by the end of the story.

For that problem I guess defining an **outline** would help me keeping on track. So:

- Is there any online **outline tool** available in the market (that is free, preferably)? 
- Is this tool **collaborative**? (Since I want to involve someone else in this writing process)

I know I could use _Google Docs(Drive)_ for that purpose, but I imagine that an outline tool would lead me to achieve _the best result in defining what I want with my writing_ and therefore improving my writing techniques.

Thanks.
