Created an outline of a plot structure by combining Viki King’s Inner Movie Method of 9 key plot points with the five-act structure I learned from Shonda Rhimes.
Skimmed through my folder of writing notes on how to do it.
Made key bad-guy decisions: (1) eliminated a favorite bad-guy character, Sergeant Major Sam Fox; (2) simplified the motivations of the remaining bad guys — they just want one thing instead of being at cross-purposes; (3) gave the final twist to the Uzbeks.
Re-thought Anna Jane’s motivations and completely changed her journey.
Fit the pieces of the plot into my new structure and created a beat sheet with 70 beats that should see me through.
Objective:
Read through and tweak the beat sheet into fighting shape.
Write Chapter One.
