i love to think things through before doing anything about them.  so i am currently making little cards with plot points on them for my nano.  lots of little cards.  it reminds me of doing research term papers in college, only i have to make the stuff up instead of find it in big science-y books.  the best part of these little cards is that they can be re-organized if needed.  right now they're in a zipper bag, but they may graduate to a cork board if i can put it up high enough that a certain set of grabby 3 year old hands can't reach them.  but all these little cards make me wonder if i won't end up thinking myself into a corner, that i might lose any desire to change up major parts of the plot even if it would serve the story just because it's not in the cards, so to speak.  or i could be brilliant at little cards and do just fine, who knows.
