Every year I tried to attend a wonderful writers’ symposium called Life the Universe and Everything. Here are some notes I took from a panel of author(s) who were guests at the symposium. Enjoy
– Storyboards can help you catch a problem in your story. As you move from one step to the other.

– The steps of a scene is introduced the characters and the problem arises in the action lowers reaction and climaxes.

– Storyboarding let you know what’s going on. Visually.
– Blocking can give you ideas of describing a scene, for example, the sunshine or window.
– Each block can present character and setting.

– Do a storyboard for each chapter, and maybe do a storyboard for each scene.
– On picture books you submit manuscripts as a normal format of a plaintext. There’s no break between pages. The publisher determines the brakes.
– Action should always be on the right side of the page of the pitcher book to encourage the reader to want to turn the page.
– Each chapter should have a beginning, middle and end, and a character arch. In the plot.
– Storyboards help you visualize the scene.
– If you have a problem with your story do a storyboard MI help you realize that for scene with a single character, master require a second character.
– Storybooks help with pacing. It helps you catch a lot of talking. It also helps you find if certain scenes. It too much alike, and if you need to add variety. The something is happening in the same scene you may want to have it changed to a different location, but still do the same thing.

– Scribenor is software that will let you do storyboards.
– For books and stories that have multiple points of views, many authors will do a storyboard for each character to represent their unique point of view and perspective.
