To say Irving Harper once worked in the office of George Nelson is kind of like saying Hillary Clinton once worked in the office of Barack Obama — Harper’s contributions were almost too many to count. He worked under Nelson for 17 years and was responsible for some of the studio’s — and design history’s — most famous works, including the Marshmallow sofa and Herman Miller’s still-current logo. Rizzoli recently published a book on Harper, but it wasn’t to set the record straight about who did what (there’s long been controversy over Nelson receiving credit for things that were actually authored by Harper.) No, the book, Irving Harper: Works in Paper, reveals Harper’s even more secret life.

It's Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme began by Sheila at Book Journeys as a way to share what you read and/or reviewed the previous week and what is in store for the upcoming week. It's also a great chance to see what others are reading. I first learned about it at Teach Mentor Texts. What an exhausting week! I am totally Book Faired out! It was a great success and now we will be able to purchase many new wonderful books for our school library and for our classroom libraries. The Magic Wand pens shown below were my favorite gadget in the book fair. You can not believe the number of magical spells that were cast around the library this week-even the unforgivable spells. I have read so many books this past week. Z is for Moose is a preschool favorite. Pete the Cat ruled my bookfair. I only wish I could have gotten Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes to share with all the new preschool kiddos and the Teacher Ed students. I worked very hard to get copies of Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses. I ran out to Dollar Tree and picked up a couple of pairs of those giant size blue sunglasses to wear when reading aloud the story. Terrific read aloud. Another hit in the Pete the Cat treasure chest. Pete the Cat activities and downloads I read a chapter or two two of my Al Capone Does My Homework each night. What a fun book. I am really enjoying it. I am reminded of the importance of keeping a good selection of mystery books in my library. Kids love mysteries. Time's up and time to watch my favorite PBS Sunday night shows. Happy Reading!
The reading room of the Harper Library is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Completed in 1912, the library took design inspiration from Christ Church College Oxford and King's College Chapel Cambridge.

This was my second attempt to capture the Harper Reading Room at the University of Chicago, this time armed with a tripod. Although getting asked to leave before i could get the shot i was hoping for, and still working out the kinks of the tripod, I was moderately satisfied with this view. I was surprised to see these folks here at 5am studying.

Okay, I promised some blogs about my plotboard. Now, I can’t claim to have invented the idea – far from it – but I’ve been tweaking my own approach to using index cards and pins to help me visualise my book for about six years now. I’m quite a visual thinker and it helps me to ‘see’ the structure of my book this way. It also provides a place to put all those ‘lightning bolt’ ideas I get about my book before, during and after the first draft. You know the kind of ideas I mean: the ones you get when you’re minding your own business, not even really thinking about the book and – BAM! – suddenly you know why your heroine is acting that way, or the perfect setting for a scene comes to mind, or just a line of dialogue pops into your head and triggers something off. When I get those kind of ideas – and they are generally my best ones – I scribble them down and pin them to my board. My board follows a chronological timeline of my work-in-progress, and when I think about where to pin that scrap of paper it often becomes instantly obvious where and when it should go. Do things move and change as I work on the book? Absolutely. That’s why God gave us coloured pins! That’s the beauty of a plotboard: nothing is set in stone. Anyway, here’s my first plotboard. This was the one I used for Her Parenthood Assignment. My whole approach to plotting was much less sophisticated (and probably much less neurosis-inducing) back then. I’d read that a good way to plot was to think of 20 things that needed to happen in your book. That’s what the pink index cards are: 20 plot points for the story. Then, as other ideas came to me, or notions of how I could develop those plot points floated to the surface of my consciousness, I tacked them onto the board next to the relevant plot point. Later that year, I listened to the audio recording of Michael Hauge speaking at the RWA conference in Dallas. I loved the way he divided a plot into six stages, with a turning point between each one. I’d already read The Writer’s Journey by Christopher Vogler, and was familiar with the steps of the hero’s journey, but Michael Hauge’s approach was simpler: basically three acts, with a turning point in the middle of each one. So I started trying to incorporate that into my board. Here’s version number 2, which I used to plot Christmas Wishes, Mistletoe Kisses (although, by the looks of it, I took this picture fairly early on in the process.) I turned my board landscape and divided the space into six sections with bits of string (well, actually it was yellow wool left over from a pair of socks my grandma had knitted me years before) and labelled those sections and the turning points at the top. Now when I had an idea I didn’t worry so much about getting it in exactly the right chronological order, as long as I stuck the scrap of paper in the right section I’d know where to find it. From what I remember, I decided to colour code to help me pick out the essential info. The white cards are plot events, the pink cards relate to my heroine’s journey and the blue my hero’s. Yellow cards were snatched of dialogue and the green were things to do with theme. I carried on using this format for a couple of years. Where I placed the cards and what colour they were changed as I tried different things out. Sometimes I was very fixed on cataloguing character arc and plot separately; sometimes I just threw it all on there any old way. The main disadvantage was that I could see the plot flowing from card to card in one long line, as I had with my earlier version. Then I read Save The Cat by Blake Snyder. Great book, and I loved his idea of storyboarding too. He divided his story board into four horizontal strips: Act 1, Act 2a, Act 2b and Act 3. I immediately decided to try the same thing, and discovered I now had room to use my plot point cards in chronological order, but I still had room to pin all the little flashes of ideas around them too. So this is how my current plotboard looks like: This the the board when I was halfway through writing The Ballerina Bride (US title)/Dancing With Danger (UK title). Anyway, I’ve rambled on long enough already for this post, so next time I’ll talk about the structure of the different acts and what goes where.
