snowflake method 10/07/2010
 
I'm trying something different for reworking my revision. It seems silly to call it revision when you're rewriting an entire novel from scratch, but I figure I'm keeping some of the characters, most of the themes, and a few of the plot points, so that qualifies it as a second draft. In any case, I'm discovering, rather to my surprise, that I prefer planning ahead to seat-of-the-pants writing. Armed with that knowledge, I'm really trying to do the snowflake method for the first time. It's not much help for coming up with ideas--Holly Lisle's wonderful methods are much more useful for that--but it's good for organizing, and for getting ideas and choices down on paper gradually. So far it seems to be working. I think.
