Ugh. I used to be so disorganized with my notes. Sometimes you get inspiration, and you just grab the nearest notebook, piece of paper, napkin, etc. to write it down. Then you spent another couple hours, days later, trying to track down this AMAZING IDEA. (When I worked retail, Post-Its were the big thing because they were everywhere in the store, and I'd just jot down a quick note to fuss with when I got home. Inevitably, you'd get the "WTF am I talking about here?" note.)
I'm better now and stick to ONE notebook per WiP idea. For The Book, I have two notebooks--one for research notes, the other for jotting down notes, working out plot details--a folder stuffed with maps, another folder stuffed with print-out notes, a binder that has notes on loose leaf paper. Not to mention the images and other inspiration stuff saved on my computer. Jeez. . .I sound a little nuts. I should probably take a picture of all my crap.
