Where do you keep all your writing?

[FoxyNightPrincess]

i have just went on a quest across my apartment to find 1 book that had this idea in it that i maybe wanted to use for NaNoWriMo. in my search i came across 2 five star notebooks, 1 almost used up and 1 with only a few pages used, 1 hilroy notebook that's brand new never been used, 1 upper class notebook that's almost used up, 1 half size black notebook that's half way used, and 2 sketchbooks that have a few story concepts written in the back. plus i have 3 novels in progress saved on my computer and some drafts of them printed off just in case. and while looking through all of these books i found a lot of stories i maybe wanted to write or works in progress that just didn't dazzle me enough to continue. and all of these books were scattered throughout my apartment.

i guess i'm not the most organized person. now what i want to know is where do the rest of you keep all of your writing? are you more organized than i am? or are you just as scatterbrained as i am?  

[Isaiah Moretti]

Um . . . yeah. Trying to count all my notebooks and word documents would take me more than a few weeks.

Short answer: Organized when I wanna be, but I tend to discard a lot of my ideas before they're even written.

Maybe one day I'll get brave and open the lockbox in my brain containing all those bad ideas . . . maybe.

I tend to be fairly organized. I mean, sure, I have some papers and notebooks scattered amongst my stuff, but I try to keep everything on my laptop and labeled semi-clearly.  

[Gray_Card327]

Well, I have two of those bins that slide underneath your bed full of composition notebooks and spirals and folders with loose leaf papers in them.
In general that would be organized because they are in the same place, but I don't know what goes to where. The rest of my writing on the computer isn't organized, either.
I have loads of documents that are supposed to be in the same story, and I can never remember what goes where.

This is me.

When I'm not at home I always have a pen and notebook to write down ideas, or doodle character design. When I get home the notes I like go on my computer in a folder titled "[♥]". As for the notebooks when they get full, I have a shelf by my desk where they all sit incase I need to reference them. So, I'm the organize type, obviously. =P

Ah lets see... my laptop, three notebooks (one for stories, one for poems, and one for an art/writing journal), two binders, and various things I can write on because I ran out of paper... though each of my big stories have their own separate spiral notebooks or marble notebooks so... I have no idea O.o  

[Woonren]

Keep?! You mean after you write something you're actually supposed to keep track of where you put it?  

[Andirigible]

I have a system that nobody else understands, but I always know right where everything is... unless I tossed it and forgot that I threw it away...  

[Lydia Blue]

I don't believe in organization.  

[exdraghunt]

IN many, many single-subject notebooks scattered in various locations.

I started a large cardboard box in my closet to toss old notebooks and sketchbooks in, so all my unfinished stuff ended up in there.

A bunch of other, more recent notebooks can be found in old backpacks, bookbags, and under my bed. Where ever I left it the last time I wrote in it.

On my computer... I type everything.

It's really weird. Whenever I write longhand my stories don't come out as well written as when I type. Maybe I just really like the constant rhythm that typing presents?

I really don't know.

I do the same thing. I don't know why, but my longhand works never seem as satisfactory or powerful as they do when I type them. It's odd how that works, but typing just clicks for me. -shrugs- Whatever works, works.
