My system needs 4 components:
Organize
Research
Create
Publish
So I made a file on my XD with 4 subfolders, one for each component/module. And then I divided the create folder up into fiction and nonfiction.

So today I'm working on organization. Digital organization. It's definitely not my strong suit. But it's little-by-little, bit-by-bit, and the work goes on. I am currently downloading all of my google data from all of my gmails, so that's fun. Sorting through my word docs, sort of fun ( I really wanted to type sorta), but I'm trying to be a good example, here.  I get overwhelmed easily, but when I feel the ride rising I get up and walk away for a while until I feel calmer and then I return to my work. I'm really trying to be aware of what's going on internally with me because I think that will help in building coping skills to help me overcome my challenges. One interesting/weird thing is that when I want to do "thing A" I am only aware of wanting to do "thing A". I know that in the past (as in maybe 3 hours ago) I wanted to do "thing B" but I cannot for the life of me remember why? My brain compartmentalizes stuff soooo much. I joke around about having a troupe of invisible monkeys living in my brain, but sometimes it's like each monkey is it's own person, and I'm living out their individual micro lives. |

The thing I like about Scrivener is the ability to have everything I need in one place. Web sites, research notes, images that might be helpful, whatever. All in the file with the story, so no hunting around for it. I used to drive myself crazy with Word, trying to keep up with stuff, make sure I saved everything to the right folders and generally just losing stuff everywhere.

I enjoy watching youtube vids where scrivener people show off how they use it. I'd like to do something like that, but using windows file folders. I've also considered making my own wiki for my universe. |
