I'm working up the order of events based on a novel idea I had the other week. Using a foam board and post it notes to organize it is one thing that I'm doing.
Edit: One thing I'm doing is sorting out my scenes via a board I made up. I got a piece of foam board (20" X 30") at Wal-Mart and a package of post-it notes and I put a brief account of what the scene will be about on each post-it. That way I can re-use the board again in the future. I can fit up to 48 scenes on the board with it split into 4 parts:
Act 1
Act 2 pt. 1
Act 2 pt. 2
Act 3
I have a bunch of scene notes on my KF and just have to transcribe what I have and find events that fit between and I'll have my basic plot all mapped out. I'm also using a trick I learned from a writing book this next month. You write down your daily goal on a calendar i.e. 2k on day 1, 4k on day 2, 6k on day 3 and after you finish that days work you cross out the date. That way you have a visual reference of how well you are doing (or not doing).
