Action vs. Idea
3 years ago
I’ve found it helpful to separate actions and ideas or concepts. I set up a table in Word to distinguish the two.
On the left side, I type specific, visual details.
On the right side, I type ideas for scenes, concepts or emotions I want to illustrate with scenes, etc.
This separation helps me remember the purpose of each scene or what I need to accomplish with it—without misleading me into thinking I have accomplished it already. If the left side is blank, I need to come up with more concrete details.
