Every single new iteration of a story file in my folder is a new direction tho :3 If I decide to rework things but I want to keep the old draft I just Save As. I used to use d2 d3 d4 for draft numbers but I was stacking so many I just said fuck it and changed to the date I started writing.
Do you have some kind of consistent formatting for your character sheets, or is there stuff that you always want to know? Obviously I always write up background data and whatever on my characters, but I pretty much just do whatever in terms of what I throw in there.
I do always want to know pretty detailed information about their family, regardless of whether or not the family will play any direct role in the story, what kind of food they like, and what their full name is and what they think of it. Taste in clothing, favorite song, etc. are nice too.
My character sheets are usually formatted as name, age, appearance, personality, background, and family. Sometimes I put some other stuff in there, but most of what I would normally put in a character sheet is encompassed by those categories.
