I’ve had my novel notes sitting on my desk for many a month. I have a clip full of index cards and more index cards, disorganised and loose, just kicking about. This disorganisation reflects my mind and it can get stressful and put me off working on my novel.
So during this quiet period between Christmas and New Year I’ve decided to get myself organised with my novel in progress. For a lovely hour I worked on organising my notes and it was so therapeutic. It’s not complete but already I feel inspired, I’ve come across ideas I’d forgotten about and just getting everything in a logical system makes me motivated for the writing to come. My mind has become clearer.
