I think I found something at Michaels yesterday. I've ordered the 4x6 index cards and dividers. They are scheduled to arrive tomorrow from Amazon. I can't post a picture of the container here. It's a milky white somewhat clear container for 4x6 photos, double rows. It has individual containers for a pile of photos, or index cards. Each individual container can hold a stack (many one per chapter -- not sure yet). I also ordered the blue dividers with tabs from Amazon -- they may or may not fit inside the interior containers -- not sure yet. I was thinking the inside containers can stay there to hold the empty place and keep things from moving around while the used index cards with the dividers fit loosly outside those interior containers. On the front of the container there is a description, "large photo and craft keeper. Holds 4 in x 6 in photos" and "KP-XLPHO, 12 1/16 in x 15 in x 5 1/16 in". I like the idea of the little containers inside. I don't know how many index cards each will hold. I will need to try it. But they look like they could hold at least a 100 each. I like the idea of individual containers inside. This way when I'm working on a chapter or what I decide will hold a section, I can easily carry it to the library or my writing place without taking the whole container. They will be protected if I place them in my purse or backpack. Don't need to rubber band them in any way. The exterior container is fairly heavy. The handle is extra strong.

@mitchellharris92863 жыл бұрын
Francisco - what kind of writer do you want to be? I would suggest reading as many books as possible in that category. For example, if you want to be a mystery novel writer, start reading mystery novels. Pay close attention to how the authors write, what words they use, how they connect sentences, etc. Do this for a while and you will be on your way to being a good writer :)
