Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

And Homer's. They do always keep Marge covered up though. Hm.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Odd question: Does anyone else "storyboard" their PowerPoint presentations?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

NYPD Blue was still on the air in 2003?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe...How you mean storyboard exactly?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's really very simple --

Like ... I have a presentation I need to do that's 10 slides. I draw ten blank squares on a sheet of paper and then make brief notes for what each is going to contain. Introduction, Example, Conclusion, Sources. Kind of like an outline, but in squares.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Not generally, but I have on occasion. It's helpful if you haven't really worked out your message yet.

Outlines then slides? I totally do. Helps me work to the right length, and allot the different sections their correct proportions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I kind of outline on the slides -- make the headings I think I want first, see if I still want them.

Awesome. This is only the second or third time I've done a presentation and it's good to see that others who use it more frequently find this technique helpful.
