I’m trying something new in order to organize the jumbled
mess that is my brain. I created a writing board with a corkboard in my office.
What’s on the writing board?
Index cards with brief descriptions of my next three scenes.
I’ve found this helps keep the story going and I’m never at a loss for what
comes next.
Story titles/ideas for my next 5-6 novellas and novels.
Reminders to stay active on Twitter, Facebook, etc. I tend to drift from social media from
time-to-time. Also some cool websites for writers.
A list of potential blog topics.
Some favorite writing quotes. Currently I’ve got Chuck
Wendig’s “Inkslinger’s Invocation” up there now.
The writing board is basically there to keep me somewhat organized and to keep ideas visible. What else could go on a writing board?
A detailed outline, whether it's on paper or individual index cards
