Comment on Working Table of Contents – A Way to Organize Your Writing by Debra Marrs

Helen, thanks for that added tip of dating the working table of contents or any document that is rife with revisions. You bet… we should always know that we’re working on the latest (more recent) documents as revise. Thank you! AND let me know how it goes with your organizing and file system using the WTOC.

Thank you, Columbia. It’s amazing how much clutter “shouts” at us. Decluttering sure does enhance focus. Keep writing!

Great post Debra and oh so true. All those cluttering things just reach out and grab your attention.

Debra, I love the simplicity, organization and creativeness of this masterful idea! You are really on to something and I was eating up your ideas as fast as I could. I have my writings all over the place online and off. I am going to get to work right away to use your online file system (Brilliant) so that each piece of work has a folder. I have so much that I might put them in master folders by the quarter, or by subject and months. I can’t wait to get my content organized!! Thank you so much for going into such detail!!

One thing I would add, and this came up when a client of mine was writing a book and changed it almost daily, is to name the saved doc as the date it was updated. This made it very easy at any given time to know where she left off and which was the ‘latest’ copy.

Thank you again Debra, I just LOVE this post!!
xoxo

Debbie, the clothesline idea is a perfect one for your Etegami art. I love that you’re making changes to your desk and furniture layout too. Shifting things around shifts the energy in a good way. I bet you’ll be even more creative in your “new” space too. Thanks for stopping by!

This is fabulous info Debra and very helpful! I am definitely going to try this because I start on a writing project and then take it as far as I can. This will help me to know where I left off and where to find it easily.

Great idea! What a positive contribution you just made to writers!

Keep up the good work and writing!

Sharon

I need a tidy environment to work. I like your clothesline idea. In fact I think it’s worth changing the position of my desk and other furniture to make it work. THX!

John, that sounds like a perfect writing space to me. The less clutter, both physically and mentally, the better. I hope that set up brings you many days of writing productivity. Thanks for sharing.
