\"mindmap\"<\/a>The mindmapping? I like it. Makes my jumbled thoughts and million “maybes” and “what if’s” look all organized.<\/p>\n

I found that the mindmap feature in LSBXE didn't quite suit me, so I used FreeMind<\/a>, which I already had, and just created a quick link to the program so I can access it with one click from my writing program. Easy peasy.<\/p>\n

Now that I've got the idea fleshed out for the most part, I’m doing a little engineering today.<\/p>\n

I recently picked up Story Engineering by Larry Brooks<\/a>, and have already dog-eared a bunch of pages. So many gems in there. Really, you should check out his blog<\/a>. Some of those gems can be found there, and they help clear away the clutter of the billion-and-one books and articles you’ve already read on writing and give it to you straight.<\/p>\n

Hoping to get the bulk of this story plan done by the end of the day so I can start writing it tomorrow. No time to waste – I’ve got a new world to build!<\/p>\n
