Ha! Sage advice, Sam. Which is why I say sticky notes instead of index cards, napkins, or scrap paper 🙂

Hey Jeanne,

No shame in the pantsing game 🙂 Having a to-do revision list is a great idea too!

Hi Jamison,

I used to cram tiny paragraphs in too--I know how tempting it is. And you can do that, if you've really decided that those things belong together. But keeping it simple makes it more macro--the less detail, the more like a summary you can follow.

Congratulations on finishing your first manuscript! That's a feat in and of itself, for sure. And yes, edits need happen, but getting a full draft down and ready for editing is huge.

I'm curious about this Fabula Deck--what's that? I'll have to Google. And that's the second mention of Scrivener here, so I definitely have to check that out!

Hey Eldred,

I started out as a total pantser too--you're not alone! And it's totally fine to be a mix of both 🙂

Hahahaha, Sam. You made me crack up with this comment. Babies are part of why I started doing all my notes in Scrivener.

I love sticky notes--perfect for jotting down notes, plot ideas, character descriptions, and other things I can organize later.
