Character charts and the scene list are my favorites to do. Everything else ... sometimes it's not as thorough as it could be ;)<br /><br />I definitely learn a lot about my novel and where I want to take it as I write, so I limit the time I spend planning. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, FaithAbigayle Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182504899939054458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618645909538172709.post-25029351722811439172017-03-21T21:06:30.980-05:002017-03-21T21:06:30.980-05:00I'm glad you appreciated it.
