Writing Life – The Planning Process (Part 1:The Quick-Reference Story Guide)

Today I wanted to begin a series diving into my planning process. As with my revision series, I do things my own individual way. I’ve always been fascinated by other authors’ planning processes so I wanted to share my own in case something I do could be helpful for another writer.
