I picked up a 3-ring binder (with subject dividers and paper) which has become an invaluable tool as I edit.

The subjects I have inside->

Language:

For different sayings, language patterns, and full-blown languages.

Religion:

To keep track of the cultures and sayings associated with each religion.

Calendar:

To keep track of the date, timelines, open threads, celebrations, etc.

Chapters:

Where I keep track of the goals and changes I make as I edit each chapter.

Maps:

As I edit, every new location gets a quick hand-drawn map to be sure I’ve got everything straight.

It’s making keeping track of everything much easier; the binder sits open in my lap as a reference as I type.

Can you think of any other subject I overlooked that I can stick in the binder?
