That's a lot more complex than my simple journalist's "who, what, when, where, why." But those are seven very helpful questions. Blessings and Bear hugs!

Enjoyed the post. Made me smile (the comic review by InkyGirl) and gave me a good checklist to refer back to. Thanks!

What a thrill to find this post of yours, Jenny Hansen! I've spotted several tweets about my 7 essential elements of scene and came exploring. For any of you more visual writers, I outline how to create a Plot Planner and use sticky notes to show how the tension rises and falls in anticipation of the 4 Energetic Markers in all stories (memoir, novel, screenplay) in my Plot Whisperer: Secrets of Story Structure Any Writer Can Master. In the companion Plot Whisperer Workbook, the plot planners and scene trackers (with the 7 questions) are included. For an idea of how writers use the two visual templates, visit the Plot Planner and Scene Tracker boards on Pinterest (a feast for visually-oriented writers) http://www.pinterest.com/plotwhisperer/. Thanks again, Jenny. Wishing all of you great plotting and writing success this year!

In reply to jpgrider. I adore that part of Scrivener, that I can keep writing notes in there too and they're easy to move around. Enjoy using the 7 questions. :-)
