Organizing My Words

One of the hardest tasks I face as a writer is finding a way to organize the various types of writing I do and then save my words online somewhere labeled in a meaningful way so that I can access them for quick reference.

Where was that haiku poem I wrote, about hiding under the blankets eating chocolate chip cookies and writing bad haiku?

What did I do with my recipe for the pumpernickel bread bowl with the especially delicious spinach artichoke dip I now want to serve on Superbowl Sunday?

Did I ever publish those thoughts I had on how to assure that I get out of bed every morning with a specific purpose in mind and a plan of action for each day?

I want to self-publish four season books of my favorite haiku and I'm sure that I've put only a few of my hundreds of winter poems online so far.

Why do I have thousands of essays, poems, short stories, novels, blog posts, and more in various stages of completion saved on my computer in a file entitled no more clearly than "WORK"?
