Are you better off than Al Gore?
I'm repeating a link I used on Twitter tonight. It goes to a picture of Al Gore's desk. I'm terrible about having too much paper and too many stacks and files and books and notes. He's worse.
Is it important to be organized and neat if you're a writer? I don't know. I was going to go look up some famous novelists and see what I could find out about their writing habits, but then thought better of it. If you can't be an individual at what you do and how you do it, what's the point? If you can only write when things are tidy and in their place, do so. And if you can't write unless you are surrounded by tomes of research and stacks of dog-eared notes, do so. But do write.
