A picture of my index cards
This is the first time I'm doing this and already I see some advantages. I won't get even get into the procrastination possibilities. It did take a bit of effort on my part to resist the urge to not only organize the color of the push pins like I did with the color of the index cards.
The Kitty Kat Push pins indicate a turning point and I have them where my act 1 turns, at the mid point and at the act 2 turning point. I put scene sequences together so some of those cards have 3 or 4 other cards underneath them. The yellow card at the top and middle is my working logline just to remind me to stay on target. Don't worry, no dead Muffins or kung-fu fighting grannies in this draft!
One of the main advantages is that I can visually look and see where I'm going to have some issues. Maybe you can see what those are?
Act 1 I'm OK... Act 2 to the midpoint I have too much going on... From the midpoint to Act 3 turn I don't have enough... My act 3 is just pitifully nebulous at this point.
