I spent a large chunk of yesterday in finishing up the plotting of Tears of the Mountain and now have a cork-board covered with notes, mostly in order. There are still a couple of scenes that need to be slotted in somewhere, but all the plot details are now written up in note form.
First time I have done anything like it; hopefully it will help when it comes to working on the rough draft, which is the next step that needs completing.
Mist and Shadows 
I hope it helps with the writing of the novel. How is it different to what you usually do when approaching a story/novel?
In the past plotting has been fairly minimal or non-existent, and never done in note form like this. I have a basic idea in my head, maybe a few notes scattered around here and there, but nothing organised.
