Still mulling on what I mean. <br /><br />In some ways, it's really just writing an abbreviated version of the final story. Writing a no-frills short first draft. But it's also more, because it's also a way of breaking down the story.The Daring Novelisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676188266569869059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982837118358902227.post-21034371486780717542012-05-22T17:11:41.436-04:002012-05-22T17:11:41.436-04:00story boarding sound interesting - will you be abl...story boarding sound interesting - will you be able to do a whole blog on how it works sometime - emotional sketching sound good to me - all the best for this weekalberta rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132420168908365099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982837118358902227.post-36672460163023168332012-05-21T23:13:02.733-04:002012-05-21T23:13:02.733-04:00Time count generally keeps me more focused because...Time count generally keeps me more focused because that's directly what it's about. No matter what the task (writing, editing, brainstorming) no minutes happen until I focus on it.<br /><br />However, there are two problems: <br /><br />1.) If I'm really into it, I forget to look at the clock, or start the stop watch. Kinda defeats the purpose.<br /><br />2.) Whatever I'm doing, I get blase about it after a while, and need to switch it up.<br /><br />Mostly, I find word counts are great for racking up new drafts.<br /><br />Minutes work better for editing, or finishing up a mostly completed draft -- when I've got a lot of little persnickety things to do.The Daring Novelisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676188266569869059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982837118358902227.post-86605402548439202502012-05-21T21:52:25.460-04:002012-05-21T21:52:25.460-04:00The storyboarding mindset sounds fascinating.

I hope you'll write more about it as you work with it more.<br /><br />Do you find keeping a word count rather than a time count helps you stay more focused?Kim Switzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248311322811949516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982837118358902227.post-10049415596026871692012-05-21T11:17:16.857-04:002012-05-21T11:17:16.857-04:00No, I'm talking about storyboarding with words...No, I'm talking about storyboarding with words. That is, what you are seeing in the episodes of this webserial is like a storyboard.<br /><br />So an outline would have a summary; these web episodes have an actual scene, but it's abbreviated, like a sketch.<br /><br />The thing that I think might be useful about it for using this method instead of an outline is that it blocks out the action, and makes me focus on the "now" in planning.<br /><br />I might do a whole blog post on this, after I've played with it for a little.The Daring Novelisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676188266569869059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982837118358902227.post-75651978438541919552012-05-21T05:49:33.534-04:002012-05-21T05:49:33.534-04:00Do you actually *sketch* your storyboard, or are y...Do you actually *sketch* your storyboard, or are you putting up plot points?
