I just wanted to get us all pooling ideas and tossing around different methods of organizing a draft (especially a first draft). I think it would be beneficial to all of us.
Personally I came out with a new system I'm trying out for my "Children of Winter" project. I have a folder for my developing first draft, and every chapter is contained within its own word document. This allows me to quickly find anything I decide I need to find, and it also allows me to keep myself from going back and editing a chapter after its completion. Hopefully this will allow me to turn off the internal editor and instead focus on actually writing and finishing.
What system do you use? Do you find it effective?
