And I especially like the idea of doing it on a second draft! Not first - too hard to churn out as it is. Not third - to vested in what I've already got. But to do it on a second run through, yes! Thanks, Jenny.

I hadn't heard that before. However, I have to say, being an organic writer myself, that the thought of imposing the turning points in first draft is completely creativity-killing. It would stop me dead, in other words. But, I love having meaty tools like this to use after the rough draft is written! Thanks, Jenny.
