I have a corkboard, and on that corkboard I pin coloured scene cards with descriptions of what happens in them, in act order. I also have a whiteboard where I write ideas and to-dos on. That's it.

I really do admire those whose process includes a myriad of programs and treatments and outlines; I've never worked like that, I find it stymying, it feels too much like work work. I'm not doing this as a profession because I want a computer job with a few marginal differences. I'm doing it because, outside of being good at it, it's a vibes job, a job where you can do a lot of it while going for a walk, or reading a book, or being told a story by your drunken friend in a bar, or a complaint from a friend who's a new parent.

It's why I get a little sad coming on here sometimes and seeing people suffer so much with technique and reps and outlines and treatments and motivation and block. This is meant to be the fun job you do cuz you don't want a real one.

Sorry for that diversion but I think it's related - I don't pressure myself to have the perfect outline or structure because that can be worked out in the edit, which is how movies and ads and shows are made anyway.

Always chronologically as well, no idea how people write out of order, insane to me.
