Scene/Section Sheets

[Elamirdra]

I was never one to use scene sheets until I read
'The Marshall Plan for Novel Writing by Evan Marshall.'

I really liked the way he suggested using the sheets to keep track of Action/Re-Action scenes, and keep track of plot and subplots.
That is what the TO: and FROM: labels are used for.

The sheet I created was inspired by his 'Section Sheets' and is a compilation of ideas I gathered from a variety of sources over the years.
There is pretty much a place to record all the relevant details of a Section or Scene.

*Laughs* It may be for most a bit of overkill... but I thought I would share it and each person can tweak it to suit their style and needs.

I am going just copy and paste the document in a comment, and you should be able to copy it using the right click mouse menu.
If that does not work, please contact me and I will try to figure out another way to share it.
