Not yet. That's why it's not checked off on the database.
One step at a time.
See previous rant re: cataloguing gets fitted into whatever gaps there 
are in what I laughingly call my life. The only things lower in my 
priorities are ironing and cleaning the oven. If this is 
unsatisfactory, just let me know.

Mostly it's defined by what it isn't - with the other overlapping 
categories I mentioned it's  much easier to decide what is applicable. 
Clues, foreshadowing, DD's agenda etc. are much easier to identify. 
What didn't fit comfortably in those but discussed things like plot 
arc, Jo's story construction (past and future) and the like got the 
plot development label.
