Does anyone else fill out a huge doc full of random ideas for your story ? Just curious…

sort of; i have multiple very long notes in my notes app that contain random and disordered thoughts about my story, made even more random and disordered by the fact that i keep refusing to consolidate them into one note. sometimes i have to dig through them for like an hour to find one little piece of information i wrote down. maybe someday i'll do something to fix that? haha

Me too ! I've been meaning to get around to organizing it a bit more but its just so much to sort through. So far the only organization i have is character deaths, quotes, and how i'm gonna end each book. But outside of those categories there's SO MUCH! I might organize it by which character it pertains to but it'll be so much work. I'm not looking forward to it :/

I have a doc for just random tidbits of inspiration that I hope to fit into writing/art someday, it has a lot of cool stuff on it and whenever I'm not sure what to do I go pick something from it to work on ^^

I have a doc for oneshot ideas
I have too many
I should start writing

I have a composition notebook of random ideas. Also song lyrics. And lists. So many lists.

they're just…like…in my head
i can't write them down until they need to be or sometimes i won't like it later

I open my brain and an endless flood of quips, crazy shot compositions, character arcs, plot twists, theme songs, fight choreographies, and a floppityjillion other things
