Power to the powerpoint!

What's on your mind? Pasted in from Facebook--kind of weird looking!

June Augusta Gillam

Facing the challenge to simplify the overall HoCuts scene by scene outline (in order to then put all the actual text into the best order), and lacking wall space to tape a printout of all 50 scenes around the room like a storyboard set, and being too lazy to handwrite them all on 4x6 cards, came up with a new method:

• • June Augusta Gillam set my laptop next to my desktop, made 55 copies of boilerplate scene essentials (POV, time, place, action, reaction) on Powerpoint slides and now will fill in each slide with essentials and can move the slides around if needed. Hope this works!

new writing room organized

Today the two big lateral file cabinets I've ordered should arrive and I can start filing ALL my stuff!!!!! Poems, short stories, novel starts, memoirs, business stuff, etc.

Seems like an impossibility, really, but going to go for it so can stop wasting time chasing down papers scattered in boxes, drawers, cheap old vertical files of various sizes, etc.
