The index cards were useful, but I'm translating them onto screen caps now, a modified version that I hope will help me keep the plot and subplots straight. It basically is a table with sections that look like this:
Scene #:
Date / Time / Location:
POV Character:
Scene Summary:
Dash's GMC:
Lucy's GMC:
Romance Plot:
Langston House Plot:
Other Subplots:
I'm hoping if I can keep it mapped out on the scene caps this way, I can easily tell where the gaps show up. Where plots threads get dropped for too long, or how the characters and romance develop. Or don't.
So that's my job for this week. I am also hoping to get 10 new pages written but that might be a bit of a pipe dream given that I also have to ready two chapters for my critique partners by Friday and set an agenda for my chapter meeting on Sunday. We'll see how it goes. My main goal is to straighten out the plot and the characters' GMC.
I had my interview with TV Guide yesterday. Thankfully I managed to procure an empty meeting room to do the interview in over the phone so I didn't have my podmates listening in. The questions related mostly to myth-busting the preconceived notions about what the romance genre is and isn't. Hopefully I managed a few articulate responses and hopefully those will be the ones that show up in print. The interview will air on the TV Guide on-line site on March 8th, same day as the documentary airs. Just ten days and counting!!

That is so cool that you were interviewed by TV Guide. Wow. You'll definitely have to put a link to it on your blog!
Congrats on the interview!! I can't wait to read it.
I need to start doing something like those scene caps for my next book. I'm a panters so I'm not sure if I want to, but a bit of planning may help prevent me from running into my road blocks like I did with this current WIP.
Today TV Guide, tomorrow Vanity Fair!
Wow, that's awesome! Congrats, Kelly!
