Nice! When I was on a bit of a SF short story period, I experimented
with the "Snowflake" method using Vim and VOom:

The "Snowflake" approach to writing a novel
(http://www.advancedfictionwriting.com/articles/snowflake-method)

In Vim use (F8 with line under cursor):

:se textwidth=999
:se wrap
:se linebreak
:se foldmethod=marker
:se spell spelllang=en_au
:Voom

:se foldmethod=manual

:.,$VoomSort

- to sort nodes

CTRL/[up|down]

- to move nodes

==================================================

Step 1) A one-sentence summary of the story {{{1

Something like this: "A rogue physicist travels back in time to kill the
apostle Paul." (This is the summary for my first novel, Transgression.)
The sentence will serve you forever as a ten-second selling tool. This
is the big picture, the analog of that big starting triangle in the
snowflake picture.
