The Big Board of Eve of Snows

I came across this artifact of Eve of Snows and thought it. might be fun to give folks a different perspective of the novel. The immediate response a friend of mine had is one many people will probably share: Dear God! That’s how you planned out the book? Ummm, no. Eve of Snows was either published or close to it at this point, I don’t recall, but the point of this project was to reverse engineer the story, so to speak, by how each scene/chapter altered the standing of the characters and the overall story.

Would I ever design a story this way? No, but it was interesting to see how the story was constructed from this point of view of external and internal value shifts during the events in chapters. The concept was to make certain that every chapter performed, never entering and leaving a scene at a stasis.

It was good fun, but I’ve never done it for a book again, probably because I tend overkill in this regard. With no problems found, the exercise turned out more satisfying of intellectual curiosity than useful. Take a gander, and if you’ve any questions or comments, feel free to fire them my way.
