Kudos to you and to those who are trying to do this. Your advice is an excellent roadmap to a beyond-tricky technique!

LOL, Laura. After reading Save the Cat I'm a (somewhat) reformed pantser. Love my storyboard & sticky-notes!

My pleasure! Very happy it was useful, and good luck with your manuscript. Rome wasn't built in a day and all that!! 🙂

(Hello, The Time Traveler's Wife!) It's more ambitious than I've tackled so far, but I like how you break it down so that it's more manageable to plot and write. Thanks for the great info!

Although it's sooooo tempting. I think I'm at heart, a masochist.

LOL Kate! But I love THE BLACKBIRD SEASON - it's brilliant. And now I know how you managed that timeline. Genius!

Wish I had read these tips before I wrote BLACKBIRD SEASON! Maybe I wouldn’t have needed 3 calendars and ten rewrites haha! It’s definitely a struggle 🙂
