Plot (due by 10/17): Create a timeline of events that will take place in your story. Be sure to indicate when you’ll have scenes vs. summaries and when you’ll be in the present vs. a flashback.

 

Chapter One

  • Yelena has a flashback of her morning (Picking up the folder) which leads to another flashback of when she first met her husband (this is in a summary form).
  • A present action (water drops) brings her back to the present.
  • A scene begins with Yelena opening the folder and interacting with Grey.
  • The restaurant scene is written in the present.
  • Grey notices a scar on Yelena (she notices him staring at it) This causes a transition to writing Yelena’s history with her father in the past tense as a summary.
  • The summary is followed by a present scene with Yelena trying to get to know Grey more. They make plans to hang out outside of work.
  • They leave the restaurant and a new present scene begins when Yelena is left alone again to watch the pictures carefully.
  • The chapter ends with Yelena during a present scene leaving to go home.

 

Chapter Two

  • The chapter starts off in the past as a scene (Yelena dreaming about a memory of her husband.)
  • Flashes to the present when Yelena’s alarm goes off.
  • Remains in the present as a scene until Grey picks her up. 
  • Yelena’s spots someone looking at her and makes an excuse to leave grey.
  • The story remains in scene mode until she gets home.
  • Past summary of the first time her husband found her.
  • Present scene with the person following her entering her house.
  • Present scene with Grey coming by to see if she’s okay and seeing the guy enter.
  • Present scene with Yelana and stalker
  • (Unsure of what comes next.)
