Description

This webinar will cover the particulars of what you will need to track on your fiction style sheets in order to maintain plot consistency. Topics will include the general style sheet and how it is similar to and different from a nonfiction style sheet; tracking character attributes such as physical descriptions, relationships, and personal history; tracking location attributes such as interiors and exteriors, geography and landscapes, and directions and distances; and maintaining a timeline with relative and fixed time references, historical events, slack time, action breaks, parallel timelines, and natural events such as weather and seasons.
