At least for me, I didn't sit down and say, "Now, this chapter is like it's own little story. This, this, and this is going to happen to produce that result." I didn't realize how important it was until I was finished! <br /><br />You know what happened next...revision, revision, revision..oh wait, one more revision (will it EVER end?!).Bklosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445205221951596010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926052979661322999.post-58009354347838521462011-04-21T17:41:04.881-04:002011-04-21T17:41:04.881-04:00New follower here. :)I love scene inventories.

It's not all fun and games, but it's where the meat of the story starts to emerge. For me, the problem is getting the first draft finished so I have something to revise.

It's a way for me to focus on the purpose of each scene. I can see what needs to be stretched out (key scenes where I want a realization to happen) or summarized (scenes of less importance) or cut (scenes with extra action that is not essential to the plot).Andrea Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250681746122381149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926052979661322999.post-75163589665400871752011-04-21T06:24:26.113-04:002011-04-21T06:24:26.113-04:00I think everyone can do timelines as part of revis...I think everyone can do timelines as part of revision.
