DOH!!!

So I finally decided to continue writing some stories I had started a while ago.  I have spent the better part of the morning searching my drive for a first chapter of one of them because, instead of realizing that "Gee, Adrienne, you're writing a lot, you better organize this better!" I just kept storing things in the same place.  Ugh!

So now, I have created a "Works in Progress" folder for those stories.  I think I need another folder called "Published Stories," but I'm not going to do that this weekend. Yay, another item on the neverending "To Do" list!

New writers, take this as a cautionary tale: Set up separate folders!

This is why I like google docs as none of it is stored on my computer taking up space. I don't have to search for anything. I organized 95 % of my writing into folders as well a volumes of research.

Plus on google docs you can organize your documents in a number of ways.

Very true and I do have stories in google docs, but because the cursor and letters don't line up like I'm used to, I don't like writing in it. I may have to bite the bullet on this one.

if it's not lining up then you need to change your format and font size. And perhaps the size you view it on the page...which means adjusting on your pc. That should help.

Google docs does go a bit wonky if you try to write while the page is enlarged.

I'll try that, thanks.
