pjfdbh | writing_train | 0.94 | How do you keep track of your notes for what you’re writing (plot points, character notes, etc.)? I have only started to become an aspiring writer within the last year or so, despite always enjoying it. This being said, I am still trying to figure out how to organize and fit it into my daily life. I am an organized person, but every time I try to keep notes of major plot points, character traits, relationship progressions/statuses, etc. I find it gets very messy very quickly. I am drawn more to pen and paper for note taking, although I see great value in the search functions of many electronic documents. I also have found that I will become so entrenched in the writing process that I forget to look back on the notes I’ve previously made and may sometimes go against something I previously outlined in the story. I know that this is all part of the learning curve and writing/editing process but I often get so nervous about consistency that it stops me from writing or being able to fully be indulged in the writing and story. So, to all of you beautiful people further established in this than I am, how do you keep your notes clean, organized, or in a way that you can easily look back at them even after a few days, weeks, or months of not writing your story? Are there apps, notebooks, literally anything that you have found that works for you? | hbxa826 | hbxgyh6 | 1,631,018,223 | 1,631,021,751 | 3 | 5 | I do all of my brainstorming on paper. Then, when I think I have everything set in stone, I update my wikipad (its a wiki software). The wiki is basically my database for all world-building aspects of my story. Characters, environments, history, races, story archs etc... And then in my Scrivener document where I draft the story, each chapter has its own set of notes where I write what needs to happen and information that gets revealed to the reader. That way, I can easily look through my story and know what happened in each chapter just by looking through the chapter notes. I refer to either my wiki or my brainstorming notes while drafting. | I keep a Onenote for it. I have a page where I keep a list of all characters with thier basic descriptions, like eye color, hair, heights, and tattoos. Sometimes I get really far in, and I have to remember, which arm that tattoo was on. I use this page the most. I have a general outline of plot points I want to hit in there. If I have a burst of inspiration for a particular scene I write up up, and stuff it in there. I keep write ups on organizations, and background world building stuff there. It's stuff that will never be fully written out in the book, but do effect how things work, just so I remember. | 0 | 3,528 | 1.666667 | ||

So, to all of you beautiful people further established in this than I am, how do you keep your notes clean, organized, or in a way that you can easily look back at them even after a few days, weeks, or months of not writing your story? Are there apps, notebooks, literally anything that you have found that works for you? | hbw5wr9 | hbwsgtv | 1,630,987,944 | 1,631,004,843 | 2 | 3 | see; style guide i did a video on the topic recently but any good 'how to write' book or course should include talking about your style guide | I have a sepperate document where I both have a overview of the story I'm writing, and a character sheet to each character. I'm ofc allowed to jump back and make changes, once I get to know the characters of the story even better. Sometimes when you write and the creativity just flows, you'll come up with better ideas for both plot and character development, so you won't want to stick to just one idea throughout the process. :) | 0 | 16,899 | 1.5 | ||

I have only started to become an aspiring writer within the last year or so, despite always enjoying it.

Are there apps, notebooks, literally anything that you have found that works for you? | hbwpp88 | hbz5091 | 1,631,002,378 | 1,631,046,876 | 2 | 3 | I dedicate a section of the notebook I use (trying to stick to one story only per notebook) for planning and brainstorming, then I just use different colours of ink for different tasks; orange for character info, black for scenes and outline, and so on. With some washi tape or paperclip dividers, it's really easy to navigate. On the digital side I use Notepad++, where I usually have a similar setup only with different tabs. It works for me, since I'm more comfortable writing by hand for this kind of writing. | I literally make a Microsoft Word 2003 Document called Story Notes and put most of everything in there. Started making individual character profiles and othe documents describing different story idea notes in it as well as one with just story Ideas, everytime I get a new idea I put it in there, and I organize everything in a series of folders, that's what I usually do. :D | 0 | 44,498 | 1.5 | ||
pjfdbh | writing_train | 0.94 | How do you keep track of your notes for what you’re writing (plot points, character notes, etc.)? I have only started to become an aspiring writer within the last year or so, despite always enjoying it. This being said, I am still trying to figure out how to organize and fit it into my daily life. I am an organized person, but every time I try to keep notes of major plot points, character traits, relationship progressions/statuses, etc. I find it gets very messy very quickly. I am drawn more to pen and paper for note taking, although I see great value in the search functions of many electronic documents. I also have found that I will become so entrenched in the writing process that I forget to look back on the notes I’ve previously made and may sometimes go against something I previously outlined in the story. I know that this is all part of the learning curve and writing/editing process but I often get so nervous about consistency that it stops me from writing or being able to fully be indulged in the writing and story. So, to all of you beautiful people further established in this than I am, how do you keep your notes clean, organized, or in a way that you can easily look back at them even after a few days, weeks, or months of not writing your story?
