Revised Novel Set List & Droodles

This is a revised novel set list (click to enlarge) for my latest middle grade WIP. You can find the original set list in the post from yesterday. I reordered and deleted some scenes and added the section BOTTOM to remind me when I want things to get icky for the main character. This is the part when I want him to "bottom out" and feel like nothing can go his way. In traditional story structure this would be the end of the second act, before the hero gathers his strength and resources and charges forward to accomplish his goal.

This is not a drawing or a doodle, but a droodle, something in between the two. The macaw sketch is just something I did out of boredom. Since these cunning birds star in my WIP, I thought I'd devote my precious minutes [while students are taking a Trojan War quiz (see On the Go section to the right)] to droodling one of them. I'm sure the bird is out of proportion but that's not important. I've never claimed to be an illustrator, except in this post, where I unveiled my artistic prowess at an early age.

This droodle is a depiction of a PB manuscript I've been working on for the last month. I won't say anymore about it but I will say that I'm really excited about it. I've never quite been a PB kind of person. Don't really like writing constrictions and parameters. And since these books are 32 pages, well, there's not much room for words. But. A big BUT! I've fallen for this tiny story and can't stop thinking about it. Sure my wife is jealous about now.
