Over the past couple of weeks I have started developing a story I plan to write as part of the Mythic Scribes Blood Pact. But as the story has developed I've been finding it harder and harder to keep track of everything. It started with a simple "notes" file, then became a structured "datasheet" style file with fields for characters, plot, worldbuilding, etc. Then I added a separate worldbuilding datsheet where I could explore religion, climate, economy, politics, myth, history, etc. And as my story has become more complex I'm finding I can't keep abreast of it all - the world, the characters, how they interact with one another, etc. I have a series of "notes" and "thoughts" files which are just ramblings as I work things out, but with each one the story gets more complicated.
So how do you keep all your outlining organised for quick and easy reference? I feel like I need a whole wiki to myself, not to mention loads of time to write it all and add the links and everything. How do you all do it?
