organizing_files epitome of incomprehensibility Just what one does on vacation: go through the files on one's older computer and organize them into folders. I didn't think much about folders until working as an admin. Now I see how useful they are. Even/especially for creative writing. I got sloppy, though - there were a lot of files. I'd written a short play, just one, and I didn't want to make a separate folder for it, so I just fired it off to "Short stories". A bunch of disparate things are in "Teaching" and "Academic"; they really need sub-folders. This is all an indirect attempt to finish a novel. If I can marshal its older versions together in one place, I can find what's still usable and figure out a way to make a system of where to put later vs. older drafts, and finally get the thing done. But I am merely human, attention-deficit, frequently hungry. I need the good forces in the universe to help me out here. 171228 what's it to you? who go blather from
