As you put in those bar lines, ideas will come up for what can go where.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The same is true for writing a plot. But instead of dividing staves of music into individual measure with bar lines, I use index cards. Each white index card is a scene, each blue card is a sequence divider, each brown card is an act divider. I end up with four act dividers (Act One, Act Two part 1, Act Two part 2, Act Three). I also have two to four sequence dividers per act, and about four scenes per sequence.<\/p>\n<p>Lately I use an iPad app called <a title=\"Index Card App\" href=\"http:\/\/www.denvog.com\/iphone\/IndexCard\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Index Card.&#8221;<\/a> Here&#8217;s what the layout for my sequel to <em>The Torah Codes<\/em> look like in columns.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4980 alignnone\" title=\"The Torah Codes Sequel Layout\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-3-e1332909179157.png\" alt=\"The Torah Codes Sequel Layout\" width=\"491\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-3-e1332909179157.png 1024w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-3-e1332909179157-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And I also add a blue card to show the climax of a sequence like so.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4981 alignnone\" title=\"The Torah Codes Sequel Sequences\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-5-e1332909405462.png\" alt=\"The Torah Codes Sequel Sequences\" width=\"491\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-5-e1332909405462.png 1024w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/photo-5-e1332909405462-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once I know all the climax moments of the story, I can fill in the scenes to take me from one climax to the next.
