  I use Vellum with Ulysses, which generates my .docx file for Vellum. I can adjust my .css files in Ulysses to match what Vellum is expecting. It works very well, but there are a few things I have to adjust by hand within Vellum. At least, I haven't found the way around the manual steps I need yet.

  I am very interested in your approach, but why in the World didn't you do it by showing us the actual cards instead of the drawings?

  This was so helpful to see as I have this software on my list of things I'm going to need soon but hadn't seen exactly what could be done it yet.

  I'm glad to know it was useful for you! I'm glad I decided to get it when I did, but the decision would have been a lot easier if I'd been able to see more than a few screenshots of the program.

  Wonderful process. My take away - This process starts with the highest level as columns and the character's stories as portions of the columns. The cards just makes this super portable and easily reorganizable. Expandable. ... (last adjective) I am looking forward to using this method this weekend. Got my colored index cards and fountain pen ink. Thanks Beth.

  Glad you enjoyed it! This outline in particular was a little leaner than some others I've used this method for, since it's book 5 of a 6 book series... so the character arcs are pretty deeply ingrained in everything I'm doing. But I've done early-series outlines with dozens of cards before too, so definitely room to let it grow.

  What do you write on your cards? Pov, setting, conflict, goal? Something else?

• 
  @BethAlvarezАй бұрын

  @@lexyprice4753 It’s primarily bullet points for story progression. Things like “Character A sends a letter to her sister. Character B is sent to deliver it. Character C feels overlooked for not being chosen for the errand.” When I write stories with many POVs, I will rely on the color coding of the cards to dictate what POV a section should be in, but this series has only had two POVs at a time so it hasn’t been necessary to track. I don’t find a need to plan out scene-by-scene motivation or goals for my characters; those things should be baked into the beats of what’s happening as their actions progress the story.

  Awesome! I've heard people complain about the 'recent trend' of reading writing craft books, like it's a new thing. But where did people go before the internet for info? Books! What an amazing haul. Thanks for sharing.

  @BethAlvarez2 ай бұрын

  That’s so funny! Especially since most “free” writing craft advice online is actually just bait to upsell to a course or, you know, a book 😂 So far I’ve been pleased with these! The examples they study are pretty timeless pieces that are still prevalent today, so the advice hasn’t even become dated.
