What exactly would be the best way to plan your novel, considering the sheer size of the story (Which is about 60,000 words) without following the traditional Beginning, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action and Conclusion planning style?

i think writing has no bound of words. the story where his stopage,stops. when we write something and has a theem. the theem is the main of a writing. i think writing has no binding.
Glad I made you laugh Paul. Just an informal way of saying I didn't plan what I write, just comes to me as I wrote lol.
Stop thinking about an "exact, perfect" way to plan your novel. Start by asking questions. What is the key moment in the story? Would beginning with that, even if it's the end, be the key to the whole idea of the novel? What is the shape of the story in your mind? To begin in the middle (in medias res), wherever that is, then go to the past, present or future, as the story requires, is a common and effective means of getting immediately to the heart of the "problem". What follows explains (or tries to ) how things came to that point. Let the story tell you what it needs.
A more straightforward way is to find a novel with an unusual form (that you enjoy reading) and use it as a model. But, without worrying about following exactly. Stop worrying and start writing.
