It does look like the Boundin' lamb, that makes it even more fun. (The lamb is in the Star card, too.) It is a lot of scope, and it lets me include a lot of things that wouldn't fit into a linear narrative, which is good. I think it makes finishing more difficult, though, since beginning, middle & end aren't as clear-cut. I'd definitely do this vignette-based format again, I have something in outlining stages that would be very similar that I'm looking forward to working on. But for this year's NaNo I think I'm going to do something a bit more straightforward. I could use the change of pace. Hee! It does look like the Boundin’ lamb, that makes it even more fun.

Big round eyes and sweetness! And the lamb on the Strength card made me think of the lamb from the Pixar short Boundin', which always makes me smile. I see what you mean, about the scope and flexibility that your non-linear approach gives you. It must be wonderful to have that scope - though it must make it quite a task for you (even with Scrivener!) to maintain a complete overview. I'm really impressed that you can do that. Do you think that you would use this same, vignette-based form again, say for this year's NaNoWriMo? That deck is *so* cute. Big round eyes and sweetness!
