That's a good way to look at it!

I see the boxes as good way to make sure I have CMA, um covered all basis. 🙂 I think outside the box could actually pertain to story plot, that is something out of the realm of the normal or same ol' same ol'. I know there are only so many plots but it's the outside of the box ideas that make them new. 🙂

I agree with what Laura said! You're a darn good writer. Tell that internal editor to take off the Muse costume.

No, I know you, Barb - your problem isn't your Muse - it's that danged internal editor! Kill the witch....it's legal, I swear.

I had never thought of my process as story boxing. Actually, my process is like a box within a box within a box into infinity. My muse needs to get the poker out of her butt and let go a little!

"Yeah, like I'm going to listen to you."

Okay, even though I am also a panster ... I can see the true value of this type of approach. It's good to wake up on Monday am and find something new to learn. Thanks 🙂

A stogie! LOL! Mine doesn't smoke, but she's an OCD perfectionist.
