Filing, still.
Lately I've realized how little respect I hold for all of my papers that I've always got lying around in my room. For some reason, no matter how much value I hold for the contents of the paper, I can never take five seconds to make sure that it gets put somewehre where I'll be able to find it later. With that in mind it probably doesn't need to be said that my room's kind of exploded to an ocean of papers.
So I decided to make a project of cleaning it up. I got a fairly sized file container and split it into a bunch of different sections, figuring what to split it into by what I know I have in my room, and set out to get some organization. After all, my writing is pretty much the biggest treasure I have in my life. It's worth a few hours to make sure it stays neat. And of course there are oodles of other papers in my room as well...
After a good three hours of sorting through printed copies of stories to finish, full stories to edit, lists of plot bunnies, lists of themes, quotes to include, scenes to include, plots written on whatever papers I can get a hold of at that moment in time (coffee filters, notepads, legal paper, napkins-- and written in not only pencils and pens but also eyeliner and lipstick and markers, again, depending on where I am and what resources happen to be within arm's reach), character designs, character studies, character reference sheets,
-pause for breath-
notes, thoughts, ramblings, full stories or chapters printed out to edit, things that need to be beta'd, art reference pictures, notes from school that need to be kept, notes passed during lectures, doodles, half-finished art, half-assed story outlines, school club's requirements, my transcripts, fanfic printed out for me to read during school, and all of my Japanese studies, kudos to people who actually read that whole mother I nearly collapsed with a head overstuffed of words, romanji, numbers, and ideas.
And I've really only made a dent.
I guess I was just meant to let my possessions be messy, because that's the way my thoughts are.
