What system do you use for deadlines in your journal, like do you have a separate calendar spread or just weekly logs? I totally get how breaking scenes into tiny tasks can save a project, I even color code plot threads so I can see pacing at a glance. When I hit a wall, I sketch out rough dialogue in the margins, it keeps the flow going without pressure. Staring at a blank page is the worst, but having that visual roadmap makes it feel like you're just connecting dots instead of creating from scratch.

Honestly, the 'meltdown' stella_butler27 described hasn't been my experience with reinforced tabs. @baker.grace, a quick laminate fix keeps mine organized without the hassle.
