Plot tables: Mapping out and organizing all your plots and storylines
Can't organize your plot and are juggling between several plot lines? I got your back, I present: Plot tables!
(I'm probably not the only person to use these, but I have no idea if these are commonly used and I just don't know about it or I actually did something with this)
Here's a loose example I threw together. It's just a normal table where each column represents a different storyline within the same story. It shows you roughly what should happen in each chapter / scene.
e.g., from the example table, we see that in chapter / scene 1, there's a chase scene where the police lose track of the criminal they're following, as well as in the same chapter we see character B and C break up.
It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's something I want to share considering the amount of people I see complaining about juggling 50 million storylines and having no orderly way to keep track of it
