Last week Karen and I got really into adding concrete details to the story’s basic plot line. I asked guiding questions, like who what when where why to help her elaborate on her ideas. It really helped her get into the mindset of her main characters, which helped her be a lot more attuned to the way the plot would organically develop. On the down side, all of this detail slowed us up a bit, so it’ll take us another week to finish the story–but when we get there it’s sure to be awesome!
