Storyboarding--the good, bad, and ugly

My next Grand Experiment is to storyboard VALENTINA and see (hopefully) where I can trim this baby.


I'm hoping a storyboard will allow me to see the whole book as more of a 'picture', rather than a linear bunch of typing. I plan to do pink Post-its for the heroine's POV and blue for the hero's.


But I'm a newbie at this, so I'm wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions or hints for using this technique. When I get the whole thing done I'll post a picture of it. If it helps someone, that's great. I'm hoping it'll help me.
