I don't do plot graphs or take notes (never was a note taker, even in school) so I have to write down the scenes as soon as they come to me. With \Sapphire's Worth\ several scenes came to me all at once, but they were separated by the storyline. Since I was full-steam into another story at the time I opened a new document and quickly wrote out the scenes separated by page breaks. Later when I started writing the story I just filled in the blanks. <br /> <br /> A method to the madness? (One can hope!) ;) I work on several stories out of mere necessity.
