I starte...During the pre-writing phase of my novel. I started doing a basic outline for each scene- who, what, where, why and when. I made a point of accounting for where the main characters were even when they were off-stage. This is especially helpful in a mystery. I also keep a list of the scenes as I'm going along.<BR/><BR/>Right now I'm in the first draft stage and I'm not thinking about structure too much. I'm saving that for the revision process. When I get to that stage, I'll probably do something similar to your method. I'm envisioning making a huge chalkboard on the wall in my office to make certain the scenes fit together.Sandra Hamletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05509844269139265497noreply@blogger.com
