writethisfanficHow is everything going with the ficcing today?
Word counts? Sighs of relief? Panics? Gripes? Celebrations?
This week is my first time doing check-ins - or any remotely mod-like activity ever, actually. So hi there, I'm Lacy and I'm writing a long Hikago fanfic at the moment.
Question for discussion: How do you organise your writing? Do you find you can write in chromological order, or that you feel like jumping straight into the middle scenes. Do you put the whole story in one file or split by scene while you are working? If so, how do you keep it all together on the computer/internet, especially if you are working on multiple fics at the same time. Where and how do you back-up? Do you keep all your old versions?

Date: Monday, August 15th, 2011 07:17 (UTC)I had a UK landlord increase the rent to 'cover council tax' when in fact, as a student, I was exempt. Trouble was, I was the only student in the house so the house wasn't exempt. I left, but he kept my deposit.
The next house was better.
I tend to write most of my first drafts day by day in 750 Words
I use it occasionally. Nice to know that its private and that its automatically saved. I put titles in capitals so I can find things again on the download. Its not bad but you do need to be online to use it, which I'm not always. Im going to experiment with Dropbox now for the reasons I mentioned to
I paste those deleted chunks into an outtakes file
Me too. I always have an 'extra' file so I don't lose the ideas, as bad as they may be ^_~
P.S. Sorry, I went and forgot to title and number the check-in post - guess some folks missed it. I'll do better for the next one.
