I work in word, I have 3 to 4 files that I use: The outline, the manuscript, my codex where I record every significant place, all creatures, gods, the magic system. And my Nortantis save, so I have my visual map open when I edit or track routes. And perhaps a backup manuscript when I test a new...

Thank you so much. It's interesting times... In a Pratchett kind of way.
