Take Notes as You Go &#8211;<\/span> When I&#8217;m writing my first drafts, I&#8217;m always taking notes as I go. Notes can be taken in the notes section on Scrivener, comments on Microsoft&nbsp;word, or a good old-fashioned&nbsp;notebook. Things I make sure to write down are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Inconsistencies<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Backstory that I figured out later in the draft<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Stuff that needs to be foreshadowed that I didn&#8217;t know about till later<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Research<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Characters that need names<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Worldbuilding that needs to be developed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Out of these research is the biggest one because I research a little before writing but most of my research happens before the second draft because often I don&#8217;t know all of the research I need until then. Having these notes already saves a lot of time when I&#8217;m editing. It may slow you down a bit in writing to take down these notes, but it&#8217;s best to write them down now because you may forget them when you&#8217;re going through the first round of edits.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"337\" data-original-width=\"599\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Kira-death-note-21955373-599-337.gif?resize=400%2C225\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" width=\"400\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Take notes as epically as Light Yagami<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">2.) Write Down One Sentence Summaries of Chapters &#8211; <\/span>This is super duper helpful for when you know your plot is a mangled mess and you just need to get that out of the way before you go into even the research or when you&#8217;re trying to find an event that happened in a chapter and not even the search bar is helping. After I finish a chapter while drafting I write down in the index card feature of Scrivener a small summary of what happened in the chapter. This helps me organize my plot easily. If you don&#8217;t have Scrivener, a comment in Microsoft word&nbsp;or writing it down in a notebook is good too.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"251\" data-original-width=\"500\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/2018-01-232B12.17.38.gif?resize=400%2C200\" width=\"400\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">3.) Label Points of Views &#8211;<\/span> Sometimes you may need to see how evenly dispersed the POVs are, delete a POV, or change a POV for a chapter. This saves you so much time when you&#8217;re going through the chapters trying to find which chapter has whose POV. In Scrivener, you can do this by going to labels then edit then create a new label. I like to color code my labels so when I&#8217;m looking at the note cards I see which chapter has whose POV at a glance. Again using Microsoft comments and a notebook are a good substitute. Writing the POVs in different colored ink can be a good idea too!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"333\" data-original-width=\"500\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/tumblr_m84oz7YIN31r1ep3ao1_500_large.gif?resize=400%2C266\" width=\"400\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Conclusion &#8211;&nbsp;<\/span> These are little things and may add a few more minutes to your writing time, but they can make your editing life much easier.
