Step 6 of the snowflake method

I'm about to start step six, which is expanding my paragraph summaries of the novel into one page summaries.  I'm getting a little worried that it might be overanalyzing, the dreaded con of the snowflake method.  However, I'm going to stick with this one.  I know I skipped step five which is expanding the character synopsis because of the same reason.  Well, that and my earlier character synopsis was pretty fleshed out-I think at least.  It would be nice to see what other people do for theirs and see how in depth it is.  The snowflake project has an example and compared to that, I think I'm doing pretty good.  Not saying that his is bad, I just think that mine is about the same.  Anyhow, I'm going to get working on step five and we'll see how it goes.

So first thing is I take my paragraphs from Step 2 and put each paragraph on a separate page.  Then I separated each plot idea.  Here's my first paragraph:

A small farming village in Thesk, along the foothills of the Dragonsjaw Mountains, has a problem with a Copper dragon.  Normally copper dragons are peaceful, if a bit eccentric.  This dragon flew into the village furious that its carefully collected treasure hoard was gone, which it isn’t.  The dragon blamed the villagers and demanded they return his treasure.  Stealing a villager, he threatened to do the same to the rest of the villagers and flew off to his lair.  Knowing that there were some adventurers in the closeby city of XXXX, the villagers begged the adventurers to come and help them by killing the copper dragon.

(Note: I still haven't figured out which city the adventurers are in when the Thesk villagers contact them so I'll have to figure that out in this step-it could be important). 

Then I separate each idea.

• A small farming village in Thesk, along the foothills of the Dragonsjaw Mountains
• has a problem with a Copper dragon.
• Normally copper dragons are peaceful, if a bit eccentric.  
• This dragon flew into the village furious
• its carefully collected treasure hoard was gone, which it isn’t.  
• The dragon blamed the villagers 
• demanded they return his treasure.  
• Stealing a villager, he threatened to do the same to the rest of the villagers 
• flew off to his lair.  
• Knowing that there were some adventurers in the closeby city of XXXX, the villagers begged the adventurers to come and help them by killing the copper dragon.

Okay, I have my plot ideas separated.  Now I take the first idea and think about it-and if I get stuck, I just skip to another idea.  Hmmm, no ideas whatsoever right now so I'm going to take a break from the blog and just sit and daydream...
