haha I doubt you will jinx yourself. I find it super frustrating that they mess shit up for me! It makes me slow – I am determined to speed up this year. Hope you’re well 🙂

Good timing. I had just pasted the paper to the wall. I took a break to eat and check my mail. I was going to use colored pens, but post-its are better. I tried to straighten it out with the cards in scrivener, but that didn’t work out as well as I liked because each character had a different chapter. In one character case, tasks mattered but not necessarily the day carried out. The other character’s actions were timed more precisely. Posts-its on the wall are better.

In reply to Sacha Black. They were, but they've now stopped :'D They're oddly okay with the people I'm killing and throwing in other plot twists instead. I don't get their priorities, Sacha.

In reply to Sacha Black. Lol! They can get quite arty... well, yours will, I'm sure. Mine just look like a bunch of entangled spiders!

Lol it definitely has colours – a flow chart is a cracking idea though – I guess it’s similar to a timeline. I might have to have a go at that 😀

Bumfuckle... my new favourite word! I don't outline in depth, so when this happens it's not so much of an issue. I have one sheet of paper divided into the various plot lines (for Conor Kelly #3 I have 4 columns). If the plots iend up deviating from that I use another page with a flow chart to show where the new development slots in. That's all. But if that ever happens (when I finally start writing again!) I'll be sure to use your tip... its a thorough no nonsense detailed approach... with pretty colours!
