RE: School Yard Stories #002 - The Wheelie Bin Mafia - Chapter 3
Really interesting techniques you are using with post-it notes and a whiteboard, because... you can touch it.
Many writers today use story building software but your tried-and-true physical approach works even better, I think. And similar to what I would imagine police investigators would use.:)
By the way, your comment with some illustrations could become a separate post to enlighten your fans who might be wondering the same thing...
I still prefer using some manual techniques, It helps me to be able to really visualise the story, and often times, a screen just doesn't do that well enough. I get really creative standing and pacing in front of a board or wall!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm not too sure how many of those upvotes are actually 'fans'! I had about 97% of them come through within 15 minutes (it's about a 17 minute read) after @curie upvoted this post, so I need to be real and understand than most of these are probably from a curation trail, and therefore, the bulk of the voters probably didn't even read it.
But, one such as yourself, who obviously did read it, is enough to make it worthwhile.
Interesting. Yes, most of the upvotes obviously are automatic. Did you do something in particular special for Curie to find your exceptional post as opposed to the others you wrote that were not picked up by the curators?
No, I just posted it as usual. Shared it on the #steemitbloggers Discord channel and I guess one of the Curie moderators found it. I don’t really know how they find what they upvote, but I’m always grateful when they stumble across one of my posts.
