I Know It's Around Here Somewhere!
So, some months ago - probably July? August? When i glanced at the calendar and went ooh yeah November. What are you going to write. I had a few thoughts. One thought was an ongoing, growing idea about a fundie cult with eleventy kids each that live on a compound (no really, where did that idea come from? and based on that why would I be loitering about the interwebs with you folks? I have no clue). At that time I thought, you know you did some background work on character H at one point. I looked. I could not find. So I tossed the idea aside and found something else to amuse myself with during November.
Now that November is over I'm sort of trying to get my act together and organized (you have no idea) so I can go back to a Novel I really do want to work. I had decided earlier in the year to go back to earlier drafts because I made the decision that my rewrite of the sucker had gotten out of hand and I needed to go back to a more organic less changed version and work from there. So today while gathering multiple versions of the novel together into one Scrivener project so I didn't have to keep sorting through my electronic file hoard, I started thinking about that idea. And while in projects began looking to see if that background work I'd done (including the naming of children so I knew danged well I had actually done this exercise). I didn't find it there. Nope. I took a look in my google drive (which I have declared as slightly evil because I keep forgetting that I put things there and write out there). Yup. Found it. In the evil google drive document titled 2015 writer's journal. Ummm which I gave up shortly after starting. I opened it on a whim, skimmed down it and EUREKA! there she was.
It is now saved into two different project files in Scrivener (Scrivener is a writing program which I love and is cheaper that Word. Thus saving me the trauma of needing it at home since I can use it at work if I absolutely have to). By the way, I would have tossed it onto my personal favorite hoard zone - Pinterest - but there's not a nifty photo to go with it. I do use pinterest for a boatload of electronic need to remember things. Needless to say, I can't always find anything there either.
