Writing Tip of the Day

Many writers like to keep a Desk Book. This can be a blank book or composition notebook, but I prefer a 3-ring binder with sheet protectors. Divide the pages into sections labeled Plot, Characters, Scenes, Dialogue, and Notes. Place your chapter and character charts here, and then add other ideas that spring to mind. You'll have a fast visual reference that won't require navigating away from your manuscript page.
