After two months of reading and thinking, I was dreading the process of rewriting because I couldn’t begin to wrap my brain around the organising of the material. All in one big Word file and how on earth was I going to wrassle it into shape?
Last night I downloaded Simon Haynes’s brilliant FREE software, yWriter – software written by an author with exactly the same problem.
I’ve already begun editing, rewriting and reassembling and suddenly it seems not only do-able, but exciting again! I’ve always been cynical about writing software but this one seems like just to tool I needed.
Highly recommend that if you’re struggling to organise your ms you check this out.

funny you should write this – i’m just looking at how to organise my stuff too and am struggling with the working in one word document for the whole thing or breaking it down by chapter, etc. will have a look at this software.
