When we have a handful of great scenes but don't know how to get them down on paper to see what we're misisng yet!!! <br /> This works great, to start "arranging" them around.<br /> It also keeps me from forgetting a scene or two over the course of the writing process! I can look at the "mind map" and be reminded instantly! <br /> :-)<br /> Glad you liked them, Tyrean! Sometimes us pantsers only need a new angle to coalesce our dreams into the butterflies we can catch with nets! :-)E.

I have a half-dozen things I know are going to happen, some characters that have popped up in research that I really like, and I know how it ends. But while laying it all out is good, staring at it and trying to figure out how to fill in the holes isn't! So I just started typing and playing with what I have. I'm sure NaNo will jumpstart some extra, too!Jennifer Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07577950933213062716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034836370485944886.post-60175162107038510402014-11-03T18:21:01.968-08:002014-11-03T18:21:01.968-08:00Hey, Joel!

NaNo month! ;-) )<br /> I'll have to go take a gander.<br /><br /> It really helps me visualize the plot as a 3D thing if I can get the squiggly lines down and let them wander all over the place, or paper, describing the feel. <br /> Breaks the "it's a plot organizing technique!" freeze. ;-)<br /><br /> Thanks for stopping by!<br /> ElizabethE.
