Tu alimentas mi alma y mi paz y motivas mi morbo y locura.

Sabes ser angel que me cuida y me brinda cariño y tambien demonio que sacia mis deseos insitandome a la lujuria, haciéndome pecar con el roce de piel con piel entre locura y pasión...

Plot notecards -- elaborate?? (If you want to? Says a writer desperate for any plot tips she can get)

Also I need to meet Will Moore

--@oh-no-another-idea

yes i will happily elaborate i love notecards i use them for like. everything. i have a postit dispenser on my desk at work that i filled with notecards lol

so this is a method i developed when i was in a novel writing class in college and does require a fairly large number of notecards but that's it in terms of supplies! low budget option for if you're like me and need to see things visually laid out but also need them to be portable and rearrangeable and easily exchangeable. i have color coded notecards for some wips because i am Like That and i will be using the thieves of morbhard (red) for this example but you might see some lacuna ones (blue) sprinkled in there. tragically i couldn't find my original three moons notecards and think they might have gotten recycled in the move T-T

you can do this with or without chapter notecards--the original project i did this for had no chapter divisions and thus no chapter notecards but i made them for thieves before the scene ones. they're a good way to outline the big strokes of the story even if you don't know how many chapters you'll need. you can always make a new notecard if things change! allow me to explain

here's a chapter notecard from thieves. one the blank side i put a quick descriptor of the main event for the chapter and/or the chapter name if i know it, a number so i can easily put everything in order later, and a label so i know which wip it belongs to. the lined side has my actual notes for the chapter--this can be flexible depending on your style! i like to at least have an opening and closing scene to anchor myself when i actually sit down to write, and then just some quick and dirty notes on what i imagine happening/what scenes i hallucinated in the shower seem like they fit in this general part of the story/major emotional beats, etc. this can be as detailed or as sparse as you like! another less detailed example from thieves, this time chapter 8:

obligatory kitty picture (she's helping!):

ok so the scene notecards. this is the real meat of this method. this originally started as a nanowrimo method and the idea was that i would have this little deck of scene cards to pull from when i was feeling stuck/didn't want to write/hadn't hit my wordcount yet and then i would have to write whatever that scene was. this is still a really good strategy for me and is the main reason that i love using actual physical notecards.

on the blank side is a short descriptor of the scene. these are all from different chapters of thieves and some of them are really short scenes with a lot of emotional weight, and some are major story beats that probably take place over multiple scenes. there's no rules as to how you divide up your scenes on the notecards! as long as it's something distinct enough that you'll know what you're talking about when you pick it up after a week or two. if your notecards aren't color coded a wip label probably wouldn't hurt

second kitty picture (she's NOT helping)

the backside is similar to chapter notecards in that it's super flexible what you put there--i've got explanations for plot points, emotional beats, i've even written snippets of dialogue that i thought of or a descriptor i think sounds cool. this side of the notecard can even be blank! i also label them with which chapter they come from (if i know) for ease of organization if they get all mixed up when i don't want them to be. here's those same scene notecards from thieves again:

you can use the scene cards and the chapter cards together, to organize when things happen in the story/what order they happen within the chapter. here's an example from lacuna of my scene and chapter cards for chapter 1:

another thing i like to do, especially when i'm still making the notecards/not drafting yet--take out the chapter cards and shuffle the scene cards, then flip through adding notes to the back side until they all have something that i feel like i can work off of when i sit down to draft. i've gotten a pretty detailed outline of thieves with this method before writing any actual prose! this also works in retrospective (which is how it started anyway) like i did with lacuna, where i had a draft and then made scene cards based on what i'd already written/what i wanted to write/what i felt like was missing and organized from there. all around a super versatile method and medium for plotting!

Negli ultimi mesi sono ingrassata, mi sentivo sempre in colpa perché pensavo fosse dovuto alla mia poco equilibrata alimentazione e agli ormoni della pillola anticoncezionale, così ho cercato di cambiare, di mangiare più sano, di cominciare ad avere una vita più attiva anche a livello di sport, inconsapevole che dentro di me c’era un mostro che metteva radici sempre più profonde man mano che passava il tempo. Giorno dopo giorno mi sentivo cambiare, ero sempre più stanca, nonostante dormissi anche più di 7-8 ore era come se mi fossi riposata soltanto per un paio. Questo si ripercuoteva sulle mie giornate, sul mio carattere sempre meno paziente per la stanchezza, sempre più nervoso. Ho allontanato persone perché iniziavo a non sopportarle, ero troppo stanca. Ho iniziato ad avere dolori muscolari sempre più intensi, ma anche qui ho dato colpa al mio poco sonno in corpo e al fatto del poco esercizio. Ho deciso di fare le analisi del sangue e nei referti c’erano più asterischi* che valori che andavano bene. Ho iniziato a preoccuparmi. In meno di 10 giorni ho effettuato tutti gli esami e le visite del caso. Nelle ricette mediche i dottori hanno cominciato a segnalare sempre più urgenza per le prenotazioni. C’era qualcosa che non andava, ma nessuno mi diceva niente. Nell’ultimo esame, quello che avrebbe stabilito una diagnosi più accurata, mi hanno imbottita di valium e antidolorifici, una sensazione che riproverei (pensiero dato forse dal fatto che era tanto tempo che non mi rilassavo così tanto e che non mi sentivo “così bene” senza un minimo di dolore). Una volta (s)drogata, quando ho ripreso in mano la mia facoltà cerebrale, le notizie che mi hanno dato non sono state buone, un po’ me l’ero intagliata,il classico 1+1=2. “Signorina lei è piena di ulcere nell’intestino, abbiamo inviato 6 campioni per la biopsia. Ma noi crediamo sia Morbo di Crohn”. Morbo di Crohn? Che cazzo è il morbo di Crohn? È grave? Si guarisce? Devo operarmi? Cosa devo fare??? Queste tutte le cose che mi sono balzate in testa. Oltre che stavo cominciando a rivivere un incubo. Ad oggi ancora non mi sono data completamente tutte le risposte alle domande. Sono ancora allo sbaraglio. Devo evitare l’ansia e lo stress perché è come mettere benzina sul fuoco. Ce la farò?

I bet you won’t even take me to funky town :(
