Pants.
Darling ones,
I'm in the process of a step outline for my Red Planet entry. I'm reasonably pleased with the first 25 pages of script but the rest is utter PANTS. Though tortuous, step outlining is certainly a useful technique for driving the story forward.
'Your step outline should tell you where each scene ends up -- what it needs to accomplish dramatically and narratively.'

How's everyone doing with their Red Planet entry?

My RP entry (got to 50 pages) was so extremely PANTS that I am pretending it doesn't exist at the moment. I may return to it shortly and step outline... Lucy had some good suggestions for how I might sort it out but I haven't dared revisit it just yet. Good luck with yours.
It's a good maxim when stuck or in my case in despair, to go to a different form of telling the story.
Keep going and we'll do PO3...
And in the meantime... nice pants. A bold pinstripe with a navy piping. I like your style ;-)

John, I hear that! I felt a bit bogged down in too, hence the step outlining.
