"The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly." ~ Richard Bach
A scene card is something I got from Story Genius by Lisa cron!! It looks like this. Scene # - 1, 2, 3, etc. Alpha Point: This is the main point of the scene. Why is it necessary? Note a scene may have several points, and move along the main plot as well as several subplots (see below) Subplot(s): If this scene is part of a subplot, which one? The Plot – Cause: What happens in the scene. The Plot – Effect: The consequence The Third Rail – Why it matters to the character, and the realization that happens as a result; leads to the question, “And so?” which leads to the next scene. Note that The Plot focuses on the external action, and The Third Rail is all about internal character development. Every scene must feature a change, internal and external. These don’t have to be Big Life-Altering Changes; a call, a decision, a realization, a new plan, a setback... this makes sure your story moves forward with each scene.

I only used it for one or two scenes and only plan to use it for the big scenes. It's hard for me to use rn, idk brain can't figure it out ???? But I really like her method

Story Genius is the bessstttttt. I also can't use scene cards for everything, my brain doesn't work that way (especially for a first draft). But I LIVE for the first half of that book and her method for developing the characters and plot. Complete game changer.
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
