Hey all,
So while we're all waiting for my latest chapters to come out, and I'm sorry I'm not giving you previews (Upto Chapter 13 on SAV if you're wondering) I've been working on a new story.
But I wanted to give you a bit of the behind the scenes things on my computer for writing. First I do all of my writing in One note, and only use MSWORD for spell check and Grammarly for a grammar check.
Next, I like to copy and paste into either an HTML document for upload, when I need bolding and other formatting, or I directly paste to a text document if none of that is needed. Finally I sort into folders into a 2 tb drive called "My Orange Drive" and it looks something like this: https://i.gyazo.com/a3afe0f7a752a3e0c011cad8c3f96f5c.png
From there, I can go back and look at any story without trying to find which ONENOTE Page it's on. Sometimes I'll use an old copy of Celtx I have, but only for things like "Don't Change" where I'm writing in present tense. Because conversion from that to past tense can be a real bitch.
I like to find other people's stories and copy them into my one note, if I like certain words, phrasings or how descriptive scenes have been done. I also paste in research on certain areas I may have touched with the store (IE: Anatomy, or space travel).
And that's all there is to it, really. Not all of my works get onto the internet, some are just for me, or can't be pasted due to age restrictions, and were written way to long ago to update.
