Over on my other site, I’ve been writing a lot about the series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Usually it’s fandom stuff, but I recently posted a 2-part series that sort of gives some insight into how I develop stories using character and story arcs. I’m posting links to it here in the event someone finds something useful in the process:

Building Terminator – My Plan For Season 2 (Part 1)

Building Terminator – My Plan For Season 2 (Part 2 of 2)

While I sort of look at the breaking out of seasonal arcs, the process works just as well for screenplays, novels, and many other longer works. Give it a peek.
