Using Save the Cat to plot my book - Part 2!

In which I attempt (again) to plot my book using Save the Cat by Blake Snyder! Covered in this episode: beat sheets and story boards.

And yes, I am in a cupboard in the first part of this video. I'd hoped that more light would improve the video quality, then realised the cupboard doors were glass and I had reflection problems 😂

QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMENTS:
- Have you used Save the Cat to plot your book? How did you go? What worked and what didn’t?
- Have you used any other plotting methods that worked? Let me know – I want to try them all!
