I prefer being able to go back and see previous versions of the same file.
You may be asking yourself “Why not just edit the ALPHA files?” and personally I like to keep copies of EVERYTHING. Then I read over them and make all the edits necessary. I make copies of the ALPHA book notes and rename them as BETA. Once the book is complete AND I have given it a few weeks to sit. This includes things like: songs that I have been listening to, or notes for the revision! The latter is super important for the next step :D During the process of writing the book, I make sure to create additional notes for everything related to the book. Once you have all the pieces, you get writing! Naming the files helps in searching and finding your way through the notebook :D With this I brand each of the notes as ‘ALPHA’ since this is their first version. This also helps look at your story as a set of pieces, as opposed to a timeline. Nothing makes a big plot easier to understand like breaking it down into pieces! I like to think of it as the three-act format, but you can just as easily break your story into quarters or halves.
Having your book as ONE note can be overwhelming, and having INDIVIDUAL notes per chapter can be equally as overburdening. I make a fresh note and follow along the steps of my planning guide, though really whatever you use is fine c This is the designated box where everything about this Book will go. If I ever get an idea, I will add it to this notebook. This will be used to hold everything related to said Book. I create a ‘notebook’ in Evernote especially for this Book. I will go through my own steps and will show you how I do workflow. Let’s say that I just decided to start writing a book. I like you, because you’re one of the few people who ask me technical questions~ It’s kind of refreshing to get a few of these as opposed to the writing ones c įor those of you wondering, I did a long talk on Evernote and why I use it for writing above all else.
