Damn, such a cool idea. But that's got to take a fair while!? Still. I'm gonna give that a go tomorrow. Let you know...
This is where I always bring up my Story: The Soundtrack idea.
I pick songs from movie soundtracks that fit scenes from my book perfectly, and put them together into a CD. Usually a book runs 3 CDs, and I make track names, do cover art — the whole deal. Then I can listen to the soundtracks and get a feel for the pacing and emotion through the music — is the energy too low for too long, or two high — and the track listings work as a good plot outline.
Just looking up some ideas, and need a quick x-check: do you read your work aloud, and mix in the soundtrack? How do you match the timing... does the soundtrack span the whole piece, every word?
