What I mean is, because I have living arrangements that prevent me just leaving around bits of paper saying 'they shag after the second car chase' et al (and I hate having to remember to tidy away) I do my notes as doodles - arrows, stick figures, graphs, hearts and flowers and timelines and song lyrics. It's OK when it's recent, but if I leave it more than a few days I have no idea what the underlined picture of an apple means... *g*

I do always have a song per fic, often with no especial relevance but that just seems to feed the muse *g*
