the only thing I keep notes on when writing is stuff that's already been signaled and needs to come back somehow, and I try to keep those notes as condensed as possible because if they're too lengthy or I have too many items I'll start missing things, but that gets very funny when I jot down something like

#in all seriousness I do highly recommend keeping a doc of just this. tho it does require you having to recognize what's being implied #but it also means I can decide if I've got too much to deliver on and need to cut some of the Foreshadowing #and if you do this while you're drafting you tend to need a lot less restructuring later in my experience #cuz you're always building on what already exists so you don't get to a point of being like 'well fuck I completely missed a major element'#doesn't help if you need to go back in and add something that wasn't even signaled but! it can help a lot in keeping track of stuff #and not overburdening yourself with too many Implications lmao #(not that that helps me with fic where I can go for whatever fuckin word count I need without even thinking about it)#anyway for the record wraith is a technical term in universe but it's so funny without context #and this is additionally something of a literal ghost story so it's got a double meaning #megs is writing
