Writers: What do you do when you know you have to delete a character you really like?
Answered by:
I think it's fantastic that you recognized that this character doesn't fit your WIP! Save him/her with every description/dialogue you have!

Thanks, Lala. Every time I change something in the chapter, I give it a new version number. I save the old ones in an Out Takes file. So finding dialog for the old character/scenes, whatever isn't too difficult. I also have replot files. Unused chapters and scenes. Some scenes will become short stories!
How do you track your time? It's separated by month & day I record writing-related tasks, as well as actual writing time. It's summed up at the end of the month. Must be software. How DO you track your writing?
