James KempI've been collating all my notes, and filling in gaps to build a wiki with everything I have on the background and world building for my fantasy stories ahead of maybe writing another one!
CheekyMcB@themself Never thought of building a Writing Wiki. At least I didn’t call what I wrote last that. Interesting idea. 👍
I’ve not written anything in years but I’d really like to get back to the project I was working on.
Good luck with your next writing project.
@hischeekiness seemed a sensible way to collect notes I can see even when the notebooks aren't with me!
This is an old wiki it might even be old enough to vote!
@themself My most recent project notes (the most effort I’ve ever put into any writing to this point by far, a book series) would be joining Squirrels soon. My older stuff (mainly ideas/concepts) would be in first year of Scouts.
@hischeekiness at least my latest additions have been for a novel that has already been published, some of the notes for that are 10 years old (from a holiday in Bergen). Some of it was written earlier today though (notes about a supporting character for a second story set in the same world).
The wiki goes back to Feb 2007 according to the version history of the front page!
@themself I would imagine that’s satisfying going back to to something after so long and exploring the possibilities through new eyes and with the experience you yourself have gained in the time that has passed.
@hischeekiness I would definitely recommend it. Often I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it's stood up to the passage of time.
That said there's always stuff that needs excised or redone. It's like renovating a family home.
