How I work
Okey, so I have this folder on Desktop labelled “Nanonovel 07″ for easy access. Inside the folder are Microsoft Word documents titled with numbers, a Notepad doc labelled “Table of Contents,” and a Word Doc codenamed “S.A.L.L.Y.” (giftfic to those who figure out why!)
The numbered Word Docs were originally so I could keep daily progress of my Word Counts. That fell apart when I stopped counting daily; because I’d skip days, and soon I got used to counting by the “bigger picture” anyway. But I still write in different files to make it easier on me: I tend to write ~1k a segment (because of my fanfic tendencies, heh). The Table of Contents is a summary of each segment, so I can keep track of what went on, and which segment goes where, without opening all of the individual Word docs. S.A.L.L.Y is where I paste all the text from the Word Docs, for a total Word Count.
