That's a good way to do it, Lady Dusk. I've never done much organizing with my stories before, but I'm trying to do it a little more now. My mom teases me by saying that my plots go "up and up and up and never come back down!"

I find it extremely helpful to break up the chapters and sections of your first draft. I like to estimate the amount of chapters that will be in the first draft and then divide the chapters into sections. 4-6 sections seem to work best. Then, you fill in one sentence for each section and voila! You have a plot! To make it more detailed, I keep a book with more detailed notes with characters that will be in the scene, what will happen and where it will happen. Just a tip from me! -Lady Dusk |

I break my books up into 1/5th. I write the first 1/5th of my story, edit it to perfection and then do the next 1/5th until I've finished the book. Elisabeth |

I like the idea of notes at the beginning of each chapter, I think that is something that would really help me.
