Productivity Is The Bastard Child Of Insomnia

[redbrunja]

Can't wind down enough to sleep. Decided now was the prime time to reorganize my room. Might risk going into the greenroom and grabbing some college stuff to unpack too.

I feel like Rory: I half expect my mother to lock me in the laundry room.

It's very sad that I don't use the huge, decent stereo that I have more (as in, ever. I don't think I've touched it in the last... year? more? I just moved it so I'll have more room and am now listening to Jann Arden on it.)

Speaking to the writers on my flist - I'm going to be starting work on my two original novels again, and am realizing that I may want a better system of organization than I have now. I remember a lot of people where talking about.... Scrivener? Anyway, I'd love feedback on how you keep your novels organized. Right now I'll either have one huge work file or a bunch of different docs in a folder.

Rory: Oh man when I can't sleep, I just looooovvvvee macaronie!

hahah... Best scene ever. I've finished my finals, so I've been lounging around the house reading. No guilt!

I know! Isn't it awesome! And I love reading without guilt. However, I lost the book I was adoring somewhere in my room, and now I'm really pissed about that.

Little late in commenting:
I do a combination of both. I start with a word documents that I throw notes on to. When it starts getting drabbles, I make a folder for the story, keep the very very short drabbles all in one doc and give the longer ones their own docs. Eventually timelines and character lists leave the notes pages and get their own word documents.

Yeah, I'm beginning to think that actually sane organization from writers is too much to hope for.

And speaking of, reading and giving feedback on your story is totally on my to-do list.

Randomly, did you get my message about a ride for SukuraCon?
