Well ok no it's not really thoughts, more like "things thought" but I have enough random tags to keep track of.
Anyway, Ive been going through my comic folder to clean it out and organize it. It's kind of a mess in there with lots of duplicate folders and random names for them. Like MuscleKittys folder is named "Muscles1MS5" and I routinely, ROUTINELY forget wtf that even is.
While there is a cause for alot of this, there is no method to the madness.
You see, I dont always "know" what Im going to make when I start a new project (Clip studio saves every new project and its pages to its own folder). So lets say I says to CS I says, "I think this will be a Rabbit Ninja", and name the new File, "NinaRab1" CS makes me a Folder for it with the main story file, and a default number of blank pages.
Makes sense right.
But then Im doodling around and on page 2 this ninja rabbit becomes a Spryo tf, or I get 4 pages in and dont like how its going and nuke it, or Im 5 pages in and decide that I should spend more time on some detail and add a new page in between 3 and 4. THEN I decide that i should rework this into like, a Sentai Rabbit team and add 6 more pages to the folder. But I should really finish work on that Ash Lycanroc Hulk I was doing the other night so I can post it. I'll come back to the Super rabbit Ninja Spyro Sentai Team later.
This scenario can stack, and now do it going back years.
Then there are the HUGE folders with more than one thing in them. The Amereicanwerecritters (and 2 and 3) folders are GIGANTIC with lots of concepts floating around in them and are TRAIN... WReCkS.
This is how stuff winds up in the PITT.
Two weeks later I'll see the NinjaRab1 folder, open it up, and not know WHAT THE FUCK is going on in it. "Why is the first thing in this a Dragon? Oh well its kinda neat, maybe I'll clean it up an bit and stick it in the pitt"
Now I have a pretty decent dragon comic thats actually named NinjaRab1.
Where is that Mewtwo comic i put in the pitt a couple months ago? HELL IF I KNOW time to open up every folder to find it!
So anyway, organization. I have none of it.
Dont be me. Rename your stuff, put old stuff on your backup drive, dont use generic names, dont make huge megafolders named "beasthouse" or "ETV" cause there is nothing in EITHER of them what was i gonna do with those?
Also, it's REEEEAAALL!
