(no subject)

So the other day I wrote a one-sentence summary of each chapter of one book and cut them into homemade sticky notes and taped them on my wall. The idea is to see the whole book at once. Does that help the overall structure? Well, sort of. I can see where some arcs dwindle into nothing and others emerge out of nowhere. I think overall, it's depressing, actually. I'm trying to see which whole scenes/threads I can lop so I can add in the stuff I think I'll need to. On the other hand, I'd much rather just jump back into the new book I'm writing, and apply all I've been thinking of to whole cloth.
