Best wishes on the sorting and filing.

It finally validated all the pain and suffering I submitted myself to the traditional school of authorship. I just can't create within that tiny box that I'm given to express myself. All those rules just sit like a boulder on my shoulders.<br /><br />Freedom to write at last!<br /><br />Unfortunately that freedom led to not really noticing that I've 3 folders with my writing in them. I've tried to consolidate into 2 but then I made a third in a Mega folder so that my work would be backed up online.<br />That was a good idea. Sorting the folders by genre and story was another good idea. Trouble I'm having now... is getting the two folders to be sorted into the 3rd. I also forgot to make sure that I saved things like notes into the Mega folder. So yeah, there are a bunch of notes in those two folders. In fact, there are a bunch of folders in those two folders.<br /><br />Looking at that mountain is like an ant staring at a slice of chocolate cake... only not as delicious.<br /><br />I love to write. But looking at all those folders, going through each piece is exhausting. I had forgotten how brain tired mental tasks could be. Once this mess is organized, I'm going to be continuing to use your methods to assist in the stories I'm penning currently. I'm trying to make sure I save in the Mega folder. Though there are times my pc has other ideas and changes folders. I have to remember to check before hitting save.<br /><br />I write mysteries, fantasy, supernatural and humor for lack of a better genre or category to put it into. Would love to talk shop if you ever get a free moment. There are not many accessible writers in my area since mobility is a slight issue for me. I would like to send something for the free review offer on your site, but I need to get things organized before I make that jump.<br /><br />Thanks again for writing the key that let me out of my cell.Lauren Starrhttp://www.viviti.me/starrweavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873889619654138974.post-63859800248096245562016-02-13T17:43:28.694-05:002016-02-13T17:43:28.694-05:00Thanks, BJ!

I hadn't thought of recreational story-telling like that! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06108715396404430718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873889619654138974.post-69835228308501752062016-02-12T13:29:35.200-05:002016-02-12T13:29:35.200-05:00Hey, you're welcome!
