I made a point of being sure to catch up from Day 1. Splitting my 1600 words between 4 projects made it seem more attainable, motivation wise. In the end I wrote more than expected, so I only needed to add to 3 projects to get me to 1,800 words.
I consider myself quite a visual person, but I don't plan for my writing like I plan for other things. Mind maps are good...I do have one for all the characters in my novel and their connections to each other...but I don't use them that often. If I set out to write a big story I know I need an outline. I used to be a pantser but I'm definitely not now. But when I set out to write a 1000 word quick story and it turns into a huge monster I often don't outline for that...so things slip through the cracks of my attempts at organisation.
But thank goodness for Scrivener and its split screen feature. If I couldn't write with my outline and chapter file side-by-side, I don't know what I'd do.
