It sounded pretty sci-fi. <br /><br />I guess I do something similar when I plot. At first, I did it with cue cards. Then sticky notes all over the wall. (My St Bernard kept knocking them off with her tail.) Now I use the notebook I refer to in my research post. Same effect (no yelling after the helpful dog). <br /><br />It works wonderfully to identify which conflict relates to who and affects who and how it was resolved. The notebook is by far the best option because I can make those arrows and circles digitally. My drawings suck, plus the dog doesn't get involved.<br /><br />Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!Tanya Reimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293977395016853814noreply@blogger.com
