FINALLY, MY 40 CARDS

I had been stuck for a while. Hit page 46 with full stride and then BAM! I just got blocked. I know what my story is but I just didn't have the scenes down on my cards to help me get the flow through the mid-point.

Spent some time out by the pool over the weekend. Laid back, closed my eyes, watched my movie in my mind.

It just started to flow and I wrote down each scene as it did. It happened quickly and I just couldn't help but smile.

I went completely through from the mid-point to my final image!

So, now I've got the map, I just have to go in and write the second half of this sucker.

I truly believe now in the index card method and really getting your scenes down on those before you start writing. I'm sure some people will just write an outline, which may be a method I will try in the future, but the cards are what are doing it for me.

Ok, that is all for now... back soon... hopefully with a heading of "I'VE COMPLETED THE ROUGH DRAFT OF 'CLUB LOVE'"
