Personally, I've created a list of activities and duplicated them in a chronological list and outline. I've been playing with numbering items in my timeline, but you could also add date/time to your outline instead. Example (and I'm making this up as I go): Chronological, Kaleb: September, scene KA happens November 15, scene KB happens November 16, scene KC happens December 3 at 4am scene KD happens December 3 at 5am scene KD happens Chronological, Molly: September, scene MA happens November, scene MB happens etc. Then my outline might look like this: Chapter 1 KA Chapter 2 MA Chapter 3 KB KC etc. Alternatively, you could also add the timeline to your outline, which would work really well with the snowflake method, too: Chapter 1 KA, September Chapter 2 MA, September etc. The numbering system that I've been using looks like this: Chronological, Kaleb: 01-September, scene KA happens 03-November 15, scene KB happens 04-November 16, scene KC happens December 3 at 4am scene KD happens December 3 at 5am scene KD happens Chronological, Molly: 02-September, scene MA happens November, scene MB happens etc. I left it deliberately incomplete to show the process. I'm deciding the order of the scenes and then later building them into an outline to determine where to divide chapters. I'm interested to know what everyone else is doing to add a timeline.
