First draft rewrites and the chaos it causes

This weekend I dedicated a good number of hours to work on the novella I am writing. It's a story closely related to what happens in Forged in Fire, but I don't want to give any spoilers yet. So my lips are sealed. For the moment :)
​That said, I must admit that I love the rewriting process.
Once I have my first draft done, I print it out and attack the pages in my hands with renewed energy. 
It takes a while, but it's so different from staring at my laptop screen that I don't ever get tempted to open an internet page and ... procrastinate.

I always loved writing with a pen far more than typing on the keyboard.

So... I had a few pages done when I realized that I needed to find all relevant information I had scribbled in my notebook. The only problem was - which notebook?
Over the years I used anything I had to write down my ideas and scenes that popped into my head.
Notebooks... Napkins... Sticky notes...
It was easy at first - to find what I needed. Now... not so much.

Now, it's a pile. And it will take me countless hours to sort through the mess and bring some order out of this chaos.

But on the bright side, I can finally finish my series Bible. It's something I have wanted to do for a long time now. I even started it on a few occasions.
I have character information, timelines, relationship trees, but everything scattered across different notebooks and pieces of paper. It's about time to gather it all in one place.
​
In other words, I'm neck deep in work. Happy Birthday to me!
