What is Storyboarding?
Storyboarding is like drawing a comic strip version of your story before you write it. It helps you plan out the main events, characters, and settings in order. Each box in a storyboard usually shows a key moment or scene, along with a short description of what is happening, who is speaking, and what the setting looks like. Storyboarding helps writers organize their thoughts, make sure their story flows well, and catch any missing parts before they start writing their full draft.
