I'm big into plot, story and structure. The latter is probably related to why I pursued a career as a cognitive behavioural therapist too. For me, structure is about splitting the story down into acts to create a beginning, middle and end, which are the basic components of every story. As discussed here.
Above is a picture of what I've been doing this week as I work through the plot, the story and what I need to do to get the whole structure to work. Mostly this has involved moving scenes around in Scrivener, and making notes about how I'm going to rationalize the Cthulhu mythos in a plausible manner. I have had some ideas about that. I'm almost feeling the excitement of wanting to start writing stuff in earnest again, which is a good thing.
I can't recommend Scrivener too highly for this sort of thing. Without it I would be forced to use post it notes or a cork-board.
