So you filled your hands

I recently discovered a trove of images I collected as visual references for an earlier incarnation of this novel, which needs a code name (I like your cunning plan, saramily). The world is strange and wonderful; I love this. I may end up posting an image every few days or something, once I figure out how I want to handle image hosting (or once Dreamwidth begins to offer it).

Query: have any of you ever tried the Snowflake Method? Has it worked for you? I like to think it's a good theory, and I'm a fan of fractals and parts-within-parts-within parts in general. Math may not be my strong suit, but I can admire the underlying principle at work. Personally I'm a fan of elaborate notebooks and intricate outlines with plenty of doodles and irregular use and non-use of lines, but I won't lie, I've always been secretly curious to try this. (I doubt I will, in the end: I understand that this is valuable especially for when you want to sell a story, to be able to sum it up in a fifteen-word sentence, but this may be in the same camp as trying to assign meaning to a story before it's written. We'll see.)
