How do we feel about my new folder structure?

[Naruzeldamaster]

As Suggested by someone else here, I have decided to keep a writing folder for each project.
Title of Story (top folder)
Chapters
Characters
Notes
Drafts
Current Version.

But I've made an adjustment to the 'top' writing folder. (The one that opens up when I click on my 'writing' folder)

Hound and Fox (Same folder set up as above)

Sinbad of The Sand Sea (Same folder set up as above)

Waiting Room: Basically every 'side' project got shoved in here, each with their own folder structure.

Plot Bunnies get maybe one chapter if they won't leave me alone. Fanfictions I am allowed to swap to for a chapter if I start to get burnout. Otherwise I'm focusing on my original stuff until either A: one of them is finished or B: I somehow finish both of them.

I am also debating that if I decide to write a recently revived plot bunny (once I finish my current two projects) as a Dragon Quest Fanfiction or as an Original fiction.

If I file off the serials (Remove all the dragon quest stuff) I think it could be sold as it's own thing.

But on the other hand, the thing was 'born' being a dragon quest fanfic, I kind of want to honor that part of it's history in some way if I go that route.

The idea of the new folder structure is if I can't see the 'distractions' there when I first open the writing folder, I'm less likely to be distracted by them.

As Mike Tyson said, 'everyone's got a plan 'till I hit them.'

Meaning...all of this is very nice, but it's got to survive the first round. Its up to you to make it work. All the structure in the world does not help if you don't use it. If this works for you, great.

For me, structure like this is not important. I have scrivener to keep notes in, and mostly I follow its structure, but sometimes I don't, and sometimes I do have to go looking for where I put things. But...I never forget what comes next in the story. Structure takes a back seat when it comes to that.

Hmm tbh I may take out the notes and versions folders but yeah.
It's been working so far but it's still technically the 'first round'
I had been using the stuff aside from the waiting room idea but I'm trying to focus down on my two original fictions so I came up with that.
Rather than deleting what I already had for my 'side' projects.
