Digital Plotting

One of my biggest lessons so far is becoming aware of Blake Snyder's 'Save the Cat' 15 beats.

It fundamentally changed how I was writing, and made me realise I am 100% a plotter, not a pantser.

I've created my own beat sheet in Miro (a digital whiteboard). This is where I do all of my plotting.

Today, I desperately needed to find this particular post-it note. I have literally thousands of post-it notes on my beat sheet now, and trying to find a specific one is like searching for a needle in a haystack. So out of sheer dumb luck, I hit CTRL + F (for Find) within my Miro board in the hope Miro had a search function. It did! So I happily typed 'Caffeine' in and found the post-it I was looking for in seconds.

I love this stuff! Can you tell?
