It's so funny, as a person, I avoid conflict like the plague, which means as a writer it's something I have to reeeeally work on developing in my stories. Diplomacy and placating aren't terribly gripping to read about. :-)<br /><br />I'll check out mindjet, Dave. And yes, young tots would be a serious deterrent (however, if you had a tall kitchen island, it might work.) As it was, I had to put stuff over them so the cat wouldn't jump up and get them out of order...<br /><br />Thanks, Sherrie!Robin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02960833482145500665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26414616.post-4015217508082398092009-05-12T00:14:00.000-07:002009-05-12T00:14:00.000-07:00Very cool system!Very cool system!Sherrie Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670339498152684137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26414616.post-82170702241794890442009-05-08T08:50:00.000-07:002009-05-08T08:50:00.000-07:00You should check out the Mind Manager software at ...You should check out the Mind Manager software at www.mindjet.com . It's "brainstorming" software that's fairly easy to use and kinda does this digitally. I used to use it in another life when I taught theology classes and such, but I've never tried it with a novel. With my four year old around, index cards would leave me with a plot order akin to Pulp Fiction once he finished with them...Dave Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00164450794686655709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26414616.post-18576307670007517902009-05-07T21:38:00.000-07:002009-05-07T21:38:00.000-07:00What a great visual way to show this!
