Magic Index Cards
The novel makes sense again!
And it doesn't suck!
Today I went from "Why did I ever think I could be writer?" to "Woohoo! Let's have some fun with this story!"
The index cards are my personal magic. Someone--anyone--feel free to remind me the next time I start stalling out and/or whining about my writing process. If I need to get out of a funk, it's index cards all the way. For some reason, it's those scribbled-upon cards that give my brain a complete picture of the novel. I can spread them out, and suddenly the entire outline makes sense and can be manipulated.
Does it sound a little silly? Probably. But it works!
