Everything

Everyone has different ways of organizing things. My desk is complete chaos, but at least with my writing and schoolwork, I am pretty reasonably contained.

Behold the beast! This is my Excel document containing all of my live projects, organized by title, status, location (of my publishing platforms, notice TSS), world (in my systems of worlds), genre, length, and destination folder in my fiction collection. I've taken the liberty of blotting out some projects that my be a bit secret, since they certainly do not fit the style that I typically write in.

My system is this: once I complete a project, I highlight it in green. At the end of the month, I pinch out the terminated and completed projects, stick them into another spreadsheet, and truncate my Everything sheet.

Here is January's analytics, just for fun:

And there you have it! That's how I organize my work, and it's served me reasonably well these past few months, in the very little fiction-writing I've done.
