In the beginning, there was no organization to how I approached writing projects. There was no such thing as a writing project. Today, there is a bit more “logics” to how I approach things. Today, sharing a small insight into my organizational process

First Things First, the obvious

Most of the posts on the blog will follow an episodic sequence. Not sure when that became the thing, but it appears to be the case. I’m now moving towards mixing up the posts between episodic sets and short stand alone ones.

On the portfolio side of the blog, this will get organized more or less by the Project Types and Tags associated with it. For those who would rather organize the subjects to read them back to back together, just click on the name of the project below the photo icon and it will populate a page with all the associated content.

Example: All the Dom vs Sub content will be under the project name ”Dom vs Sub”

This can be said for the site in general. Difference is that the blog is organized around tags instead of project types. The Portfolio has both types of organization.

Keeping Organized

I use the software called Scrivener. It helps me keep my posts organized in a way that makes sense for me. I don’t have to worry about creating all kinds of file folders to hold all kinds of Word documents as I create my various stories. Some of my most loyal followers have seen snapshots of it on social media.

The software lets me work out of one single file and in it is a “file tree” that lets me see the various posts that I’m working on. Just click on the one to work on, and voila, I’m working on the next post. (Thinking of linking another author’s wonderful explanation with visual effects…)

The second thing I do, I try to build out a theme. Usually monthly. However, that usually follows an idea I have in my head until I run out of visuals for it. My hands basically writes whatever the image is that my head creates. Once that is exhausted, I know that I’m done writing on that topic. It’s time to move on.

So far on this blog, to my wonderful surprise, I’ve been able to keep to images very clear for a long time. That’s why there are two very long episodic storylines to date.

The next big long episodic post comes from one original long post that I was trying to break into parts. Each part grew a life of it’s own. Fingers crossed that readers will be interested in following this series.

Notable Mentions

The fans who interact with me on social have also done so following a degree of themes. They may not see it as themed based chats but my mind sees themes and that inspires certain ideas that will eventually become their own posts following a sequence of ideas.

To all the readers who take the time to chat with me on social, thank you very much. Appreciate the love and friendship. Once I figure how to link my social to this site, others will be able to join in if they way. Of course, the comment section of each blog posts is a wonderful way to engage with me as well. I do respond 🙂

Until the next blog post, keep your love life well spiced
