Gosh, Sandra. Thanks so much for sharing your mind-mapping thoughts. I've used this method and love it! I've recently used it on Scrapple - Scrivener's latest project, which is a digital way of mind-mapping. It was quick and easy. (Still going to write a post about it, Jess. Sorry I haven't yet.)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the way a story takes shape while you're filling the page with the mind map. I also love adding doodles to my mind maps (on one I added sheep doodles *g*)
DeleteI always spend a long time on the outline and designing the characters, but I've never tried a mind map. Wonder if that would work with Snyder's Beat Sheet?
ReplyDeleteI had to look up what Snyder's Beat Sheet is... Yes, of course, a mind map would work with that. If you want to structure a mind map according to a 3-act structure, you'd start with three main branches and then you'd branch out from there and use one branch per beat. (Similarly, in the mind map in the second picture, the eight main branches represent chapters, which are then broken up into scenes.)
DeleteI've used mind-mapping off and on for writing stories for years. It's definitely a helpful technique. I find yours even better than mine.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Richard! I've been using mind maps for a bit more than 10 years now and I'm using them for both my creative work and my academic work. So by now, I've perfected a way of mind mapping that fits my needs and purposes exactly. :-)
