Those grids with the post-its are slightly coma-inducing. I'm still finding my way through Alexandra's site, but there looks to be a ton of useful info there.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08718382178913859357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050630514662355379.post-51323102575131618572010-03-03T08:15:36.556-06:002010-03-03T08:15:36.556-06:00I noticed a few days ago that you're majoring ...I noticed a few days ago that you're majoring in accounting. I'm also an accountant, so it came as no big surprise to me to find you have OCD tendencies. It sounded kinda familiar. I have bookmarked your link for the next time I'm ready for revisions.<br /><br />A couple of links for you:<br />http://thedarksalon.blogspot.com/<br />Alexandra Sokoloff applies screenwriting process to novel writing. I don't use her process exclusively, but I have borrowed a LOT from her. If it looks appealing, try doing the work she suggests, because that's where it really started to click for me. She has an index of sorts on the sidebar and links at the bottom of entries to help you find your way.<br /><br />http://www.dianechamberlain.com/blog/?p=1143<br />Another author posts pics of the oversize chart she uses for plotting, based on Sokoloff's chart. Do those pics of great big grids with color-coded post-its not just make you drool?Lori Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340159204881410081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050630514662355379.post-52249699380711238452010-03-02T10:55:55.179-06:002010-03-02T10:55:55.179-06:00I do scene outlines - sometimes on notecards, more...I do scene outlines - sometimes on notecards, more often just in a computer document. It seems like the more complicated the process is, the less I'll do it - because all in all, I just want to write. <br /><br />Lots of people use post-its to great results, so good luck, and have fun! :-)Jamie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05486427517423813962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050630514662355379.post-74663217366389455472010-03-01T20:27:36.625-06:002010-03-01T20:27:36.625-06:00I wing it.
