I think I'm addicted to paper!<br /><br />Erica: I'm sure you have a filing system in place on your computer, but with any type of system we still have to find that missing info! Too bad, huh?<br /><br />Kara: My house is organized chaos! The junk drawer? Shuddering right now.<br /><br />Eileen: You and I must be related. I write on old receipts, torn off papers, the backs of a doggy calendar, you name it! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-2728961136698349902009-06-13T10:13:31.518-04:002009-06-13T10:13:31.518-04:00You've touched on a huge problem I have.

Little slips of paper with a jotted down thought, phrase, idea are tucked all over the place, purse, car, desk, nightstand, kitchen counter. Oh, boy, I really need to get a system together.Eileen Astels Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098531184044931737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-86126820862140795182009-06-12T17:30:11.221-04:002009-06-12T17:30:11.221-04:00When I taught my desk was always covered in books ...When I taught my desk was always covered in books and papers. I could always find what I need, but it was a mess. I think I live in organized chaos. But even I have to purge every once and awhile and have a neat, clean space, even if it only lasts for a few days:)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03925811510913201292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-69008090154052689722009-06-12T17:00:43.039-04:002009-06-12T17:00:43.039-04:00The derranged Jenga made me laugh.

Too easy to procrastinate organizing all my post-it pads into shape, color, and size. <br /><br />My problem is finding something on my computer when I need it. :)Erica Vetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772984806574666959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-34450395987969296402009-06-12T14:56:54.656-04:002009-06-12T14:56:54.656-04:00I love your series, Jill.

I store a lot of things on the computer, because I'm sure to misplace them otherwise. I do have a basket where I store my notes and story snippets that I'm not currently working on. That's been a big help, especially when I need to reference myself. :DDanyelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10366276085080565870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-5641043501281784782009-06-12T11:54:39.069-04:002009-06-12T11:54:39.069-04:00Cindy: Maybe some of those bookmarks will just hav...Cindy: Maybe some of those bookmarks will just have to disappear?

Because I usually use my laptop, I don't have a set area to write and I'm not connected to a printer. So I just bookmark everything and then say I'll go through it later or print it out. Yeah, now I get the enormous task of actually following through once my revision is done.Cindy R.

For me, it's all about easy and quick! (I love that picture too. So many talented photographers in this world...too bad I'm not one of them!)<br /><br />Terri: I hear you. Before I file anything, I make sure it's something I need. How many scraps of paper end in the trash? Too many to count!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-39520600876032043562009-06-12T10:14:54.096-04:002009-06-12T10:14:54.096-04:00By the way, I forgot to tell you that is just abou...By the way, I forgot to tell you that is just about the prettiest picture I've ever seen!<br />~ WendyWendy Paine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136235074351188350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-73073669787267222492009-06-12T09:15:09.294-04:002009-06-12T09:15:09.294-04:00You do sound organized!

The scraps of papers get looked at and then tossed about a week later! I rarely use half of what I save so am trying to put it in a notebook or toss.Terri Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771622379178654235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-89393424105173502152009-06-12T09:00:49.046-04:002009-06-12T09:00:49.046-04:00Aw, I just read that you wrote you love to hear fr...Aw, I just read that you wrote you love to hear from me.

Isnt' that ridiculous? So no pile of papers. But tons and tons of bookmarked internet pages on my comp. All my books get stacked helter-skelter on my bookshelf, right behind my comp.Katie Gansherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150375338556869812noreply@blogger.com
