The downside, as I noted, is that the order/amount/lack of contradiction is pretty damn variable and I tend to write out setting stuff more than actualalcarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929849073911012353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-83392261279609565752013-09-12T21:42:05.856-07:002013-09-12T21:42:05.856-07:00Groan... is it bad that just reading that makes my...Groan... is it bad that just reading that makes my head hurt?1000th.monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835988128285459745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-87856497500348167742013-09-12T21:14:06.109-07:002013-09-12T21:14:06.109-07:00Even then :) My current file for this year consis...Even then :) My current file for this year consists of (in sections):<br />blog post<br />Very first draft back cover blurb<br />Character notes for the 3 major characters<br />notes on lisps<br />older notes from ages back on magic as poetry<br />a semi-history of the town of Sunny Creek (with notes to change the placeholder character names)<br />note on 'historical' vs 'modern'alcarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929849073911012353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-62825697461568410952013-09-12T20:46:55.513-07:002013-09-12T20:46:55.513-07:00I've heard that's a good program...

I use Scrivener, which makes it really easy to open up a blank scene and jot random stuff to my pantster heart's desire.
