How do I stay organised when developing a story

Staying organised can be pretty tough as a writer and while I have shown how I organise my files in the past a lot has changed since I moved away from google docs and drive when it comes to my writing. 

I now organise all my finished/ published books on my computer hard drive as well as future book plans on the notes on my phone but while I am still writing my book there can be a lot of files to sort though from my book bible, character development, research and more. 

I now use a writing app called scrivener; I have folders for each of my books. 

Within each of the folders I have research for my books in the research tab. 

I also have each chapter in its own document so that I can easily edit and switch between the different chapters without endless scrolling. 

I also have a document for book parts I have written and don’t know where the parts fit in as well as a document for my plan which also has all my information on my characters. 

tips, tricks and tools that help keep your writing career organised

 

Whether you write for pleasure, part time or full time it can be hard to keep all your work organised. 

- Having a place dedicated to your writing is beneficial because you can keep all your supplies in one place. 

- having your documents in files will be really helpful because then you can just click into the file you want and have all the information you need. Each writing project has a file with everything you need as well as files for ideas, writing, stand down, editing and published etc.

- have a writing routine that works for you
