I'm so with you, Barb. That's the one I was eyeballing and I'm nervous about it. Margie's EDITS system totally helps me get back on track, especially when I'm not sure why something isn't working, but I love the idea of the timeline/mountain peaks visual.

I've been stuck in one place in my WIP for awhile and I think these ideas will help. Thank you.

It's a great way to find the holes and blindspots—so you know exactly what you need to do! Good luck, and let me know how it turns out!

I've done color coding using the Margie Lawson Deep Edits system. What I'm going to try is diagramming my plot line using the mountain technique you outline here, with the + and - above the peaks. Almost afraid to do it, but I will!

Love it! We should find a way to create a compendium of tried-and-true WITS-recommended exercises!
