My love for index cards has been rekindled

I was trying to think of a way to better organize my stories, and sadly via watching the new hit t.v. show "SMASH", I remembered that I have a box in the downstairs bathroom full of old index cards that I never managed to use when I was in college.

I'll take this time to explain two things here:
1)If you haven't yet discovered the show "SMASH", and adore Marilyn Monroe, musicals and Debra Messing as much as I do, this is the show for you. If you are wondering about the index card reference; in the show they use them and a huge bulletin board to make a storyboard of where to put the songs they've written for the musical being produced within the show. It's absolutely fabulous. (The show and the storyboard idea...) Love love love it!

2) While in college, I would  use tons and tons of index cards to study for exams and I happen to have several left over. Why were they located in the bathroom you ask? That, I couldn't really tell you. The point is, they were there and they are no longer going to waste.

Yipee!

So anyway, now that we are on the same page, this is what I've created so far:

It's not much, but it's a start. There is no actual bulletin board as of yet; right now they are just lying on the carpet in our living room.  I'm just excited that some sections have been decided upon within the book and several chapters have got a rough draft in motion. There's a plan and some organization now so it's all starting to become a little more real.
Scary.
I just might do this after all...
